  • Ensure #4B5320 text on #EFEFEF background passes WCAG AA contrast for readability.
  • Be cautious using #B5B990 for small text on light backgrounds; it may lack sufficient contrast.
  • Avoid pairing #D4D6B6 text directly with #B5B990 as contrast will be very low.
  • Lighter greens like #D4D6B6 are best used for large headings or decorative elements, not body text on light backgrounds.
