Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when using #DEB887 as a background with lighter text colors like #FFA07A; aim for WCAG AA or AAA.
  • For critical text, use darker tones like #CD853F against #DEB887 or a near-white background like #F5F5F5.
  • Test button and link states for readability, especially with #FF7F50 or #F08080 on various backgrounds.
  • Avoid placing #FFA07A directly on #F08080 for small text or icons due to low hue contrast.
