Accessibility notes

  • Always use a dark text color (e.g., charcoal or black) against these very light backgrounds for WCAG AA compliance.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast when using "#D4C7B0" for interactive elements against lighter palette colors.
  • The lighter shades like "#FFFFF5" and "#FFFDFD" should not be used for text due to insufficient contrast.
  • Layering similar light tones requires careful attention to visual hierarchy to prevent elements from blending together.
