Accessibility notes

  • Most colors are light and vibrant; ensure dark text (e.g., black) is used on #FFBF00, #FFD700, #9ACD32, and #66CDAA for readability.
  • #FF7F00 may not provide enough contrast with white text for smaller font sizes; prefer dark text for body copy.
  • Avoid pairing #FFBF00 text on #FFD700 backgrounds or vice versa, as their minimal contrast will hinder readability.
  • Use #FF7F00 or #9ACD32 primarily as accents; they are generally not suitable for large blocks of text without strong contrast.
