Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize #FFFFFF as the foundational primary background, offering ultimate purity and spaciousness.

secondary

Employ #F5F5F5 for secondary elements or subtle content separation, adding a touch of depth without distraction.

accent

Use #F0F8FF for very subtle accents like hover states or delicate borders, providing a cool, ethereal touch.

background

Any of the light shades, especially #FFFFFF or #FFFAFA, create an incredibly clean and expansive background.

text

For optimal legibility, pair with a dark charcoal, black, or very dark grey text (e.g., #333333).

Accessibility notes

  • Crucially, ensure extremely high contrast for all text against these very light backgrounds (e.g., black or dark grey).
  • Avoid using any of the palette colors for text, as they will have insufficient contrast against each other.
  • Use these shades primarily for backgrounds, containers, and large decorative elements.
  • Always use a WCAG contrast checker to confirm text and interactive element readability; aim for AAA on text.
