Suggested color roles

primary

Use #ADD8E6 as a soft, calming primary blue for main headings or key interactive elements, providing a gentle focal point.

secondary

Apply #FFC0CB for supportive elements like subheadings, secondary buttons, or accent panels, offering a gentle, warm contrast.

accent

Introduce #FFDAB9 as a peachy highlight for interactive elements, subtle graphic details, or decorative accents, adding playfulness.

background

Employ #F0FFF0 as the predominant background color to create an expansive, airy, and clean canvas that enhances the pastel tones.

text

As the palette lacks dark colors, a dark neutral like charcoal (#333333) or a very dark blue is recommended for all body text to ensure readability on light backgrounds. For decorative text, #ADD8E6 may be used for larger elements.

Accessibility notes

  • A dark neutral color (e.g., charcoal #333333) is essential for body text on any background to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • All colors in this palette are light; ensure interactive elements have clear visual states, possibly with a darker outline or shadow.
  • Avoid using any of the pastel colors for small text due to inherently low contrast against light backgrounds.
  • For decorative text, ensure sufficient size and weight if using palette colors for better visibility.
