Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing lighter yellows like #FFFAE0 and #FFE7B3 with text; black or very dark brown is usually required.
  • Avoid using #FFD27F or #FFC04C as text colors on light backgrounds without verifying WCAG AA compliance.
  • The palette's overall warmth means careful contrast checks are essential for all text and interactive elements.
  • Consider using a slightly darker shade of a palette color for text if the background is also a light yellow to ensure legibility.
