Suggested color roles

primary

Use #81D4FA as the dominant hue for main content areas or primary brand elements, providing a balanced and approachable cool tone.

secondary

Employ #4FC3F7 for supporting sections, call-to-action buttons, or secondary navigation, offering a slightly more saturated contrast to the primary.

accent

Reserve #29B6F6 for high-impact elements like interactive states, key highlights, or small graphic details, ensuring a striking yet harmonious pop.

background

Apply #E1F5FE as the main background color for a crisp, clean canvas that enhances readability and provides an expansive, airy feel.

text

For dark text on light backgrounds (#E1F5FE, #B3E5FC), a deep charcoal or near-black is recommended for optimal legibility. For text on darker blues like #4FC3F7 or #29B6F6, use white or a very light gray.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, especially when using lighter blues like #E1F5FE and #B3E5FC for backgrounds.
  • Avoid using #E1F5FE as text on #B3E5FC background due to insufficient contrast for WCAG AA guidelines.
  • Utilize #29B6F6 for interactive elements (buttons, links) to provide better visual cues and contrast.
  • When pairing text with #4FC3F7, aim for white or a very dark neutral for optimal readability for all users.
