Accessibility notes

  • Ensure significant contrast for text, as many palette colors are very close in value. #A0A3A4 on #E0E8E8 is a good pairing.
  • Avoid using #D4DCDD or #C2C9CA for small text against #E0E8E8; they will likely fail WCAG AA.
  • For primary text, consider using a true black or very dark charcoal if #A0A3A4 doesn't provide enough contrast on some elements.
  • Use larger font sizes and bolding for emphasis when using lighter grays for text.
