Accessibility notes

  • Ensure dark text (e.g., #6A6E82 or charcoal) on #F2E3BC background meets WCAG AA contrast.
  • Be cautious when using #F7BFB7 for small text on #F2E3BC; contrast will be very low.
  • Avoid pairing #A1A8AE text directly with #BF7F8C as contrast may be insufficient for readability.
  • Lighter shades like #F7BFB7 and #A1A8AE are best for large headings, decorative elements, or backgrounds, not small body text.
