text

Accessibility notes

  • Crucially, use a dark neutral color (e.g., #333333 or black) for all text to ensure readability, as all palette colors are very light.
  • Avoid using any of the palette colors for text against each other, as contrast will be insufficient.
  • This palette is best for decorative elements or large areas of color, not for critical text.
  • If using for UI, ensure interactive elements have clear visual cues beyond color, due to low contrast.
