Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing lighter shades like #E2725B with text; black or very dark brown is often necessary.
  • Avoid using adjacent colors from this palette for text and background without checking contrast ratios (WCAG AA).
  • For interactive elements, provide clear visual cues beyond color, especially for #D46F54 and #CD5B45, which are close in value.
  • Consider using a stark contrast, such as a near-white or light gray, for primary text on any of these deep terracotta hues.
