Suggested color roles

primary

A very light, almost white pink (#FADADD), ideal for clean backgrounds or large content areas to keep the design airy.

secondary

A slightly deeper pink (#F4C2C2), suitable for secondary sections, headers, or subtle decorative elements.

accent

The deepest pink (#D26969), offering a warm, inviting accent for calls-to-action, important highlights, or small graphic elements.

background

Provides a soft, clean base (#FADADD) that allows other colors to gently emerge, maintaining a light overall feel.

text

A mid-tone pink (#D98888), suitable for subheadings or larger display text. For body text, use a dark charcoal or black for optimal readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Text contrast can be challenging; ensure #D26969 or a darker color is used for text on lighter backgrounds.
  • Avoid using #FADADD or #F4C2C2 for small body text on similarly light backgrounds.
  • Use a contrast checker to verify all text and interactive element color pairings meet WCAG standards.
  • Darker shades like #D98888 can work for larger text on #FADADD, but black is usually safer for body copy.
