Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast for text: White or very light grey text on #3B1C3B and #5C2D5C is crucial for readability.
  • Be mindful of adjacent purples: Text or UI elements in #7F4D7F may lack sufficient contrast on backgrounds like #A06DA0.
  • Check WCAG AA/AAA compliance for critical UI elements, especially interactive components using accent colors.
  • Avoid using the mid-range colors, such as #7F4D7F, for small body text against backgrounds that are too close in luminance.
