Suggested color roles

primary

secondary

Employ #B8B0A8 for secondary headings, borders, or background textures, adding depth and a touch of warmth.

accent

Apply #A09890 for strong text, call-to-action buttons, or subtle graphical accents, providing the necessary contrast and grounding.

background

Accessibility notes

  • Text on very light backgrounds like #F2EBE0 and #E6E0D4 must be dark enough (e.g., #A09890) to ensure readability.
  • Avoid using #D3CAC0 for small text on #E6E0D4 as contrast may be insufficient for accessibility standards.
  • Ensure interactive elements have clear visual cues, as subtle color changes might not be enough for all users.
  • For headings and important information, prioritize using #A09890 to guarantee high contrast and legibility.
