Suggested color roles

primary

A rich, inviting pink (#CC4E70) that serves as a strong anchor, drawing attention without being overly aggressive. Ideal for calls to action or key headings.

secondary

A softer, warm pink (#E6A29C) that complements the primary, great for subheadings, secondary buttons, or background elements that need warmth.

accent

A deep, bold fuchsia (#BF245C), perfect for high-impact accents, small icons, or highlights that demand immediate attention and add depth.

background

A very light, creamy peach-pink (#F2CCB1), excellent for clean, warm backgrounds that allow other colors to pop without feeling stark.

text

For optimal readability, especially against lighter shades like #F2CCB1, a dark charcoal (e.g., #333333) is recommended. For darker backgrounds, white text would be suitable.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #CC4E70 text and #F2CCB1 background (or similar pairings) to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid placing #E6A29C text directly on #F2CCB1 backgrounds due to low contrast; use darker text like charcoal or black.
  • Reserve #BF245C for larger text or accents where contrast with a light background is easier to achieve.
  • Always test color combinations with accessibility checkers for both regular and large text sizes.
