Accessibility notes

  • Most colors in this palette are very light; ensure text has a high contrast with dark colors like black or dark grey.
  • Avoid using #FFFF00 for critical text elements, as its low luminance makes it hard to read against other light hues.
  • When pairing colors like #FFC0CB and #ADD8E6, ensure they are not used for text and background of crucial information.
  • Consider larger font sizes for better readability when using lighter palette colors for text against a slightly contrasting background.
