Accessibility notes

  • Ensure very high contrast for text on #FF0000 or #FF4500; pure white text is almost always required.
  • Avoid using #FFD700 as body text on light backgrounds; it's best for accents or against very dark backgrounds.
  • For interactive elements, maintain clear visual distinctions and provide strong focus states.
  • Be mindful of red-green color blindness when using these intense reds; provide alternative cues.
