Suggested color roles

primary

A soft, inviting light pink (#FFB6C1) that provides a warm and gentle focal point, ideal for main headings or welcoming elements.

secondary

A serene light blue (#B0E0E6) that offers a cool, calming balance to the pink, suitable for secondary information or background accents.

accent

A muted yellow (#F0E68C) that provides a subtle, cheerful highlight without overpowering the delicate palette, good for small decorative elements.

background

A creamy, warm peach (#FFDAB9) that serves as an exceptionally soft and inviting base, allowing other pastels to gently emerge.

text

A dark charcoal (e.g., #333333) is essential for ensuring readability against these very light pastel backgrounds. Avoid white text on any of these colors.

Accessibility notes

  • These are very light colors; significant care must be taken to ensure text contrast meets WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid using any of these colors for small text directly on another color from this palette unless tested for sufficient contrast.
  • Always use dark text (e.g., charcoal or black) on these backgrounds for readability; white text will almost certainly fail contrast.
  • Consider using these colors primarily for large graphical elements, backgrounds, or as very light text on a dark background (if applicable, though not the primary use here).
