Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast, especially when pairing #F4A460 or #DAA520 with lighter text; dark text is usually best.
  • The darker browns like #8B4513 and #A0522D provide strong contrast for white or light cream text.
  • Avoid using #F4A460 and #DAA520 for small text side-by-side, as their luminance difference might be insufficient for WCAG AA.
  • Test color combinations for readability, especially for users with red-green color blindness, given the earthy tones.
