What this means in practice
- Highest contrast: #D5FFFF against #FFFFFF at 1.07:1 — the safest pair here for body copy.
- Lowest contrast: #D5FFFF against #FFFBCA at 1.02:1 — decorative use only, it does not meet WCAG AA for text.
- Darkest colour: #D5FFFF (Light Cyan, luminance 0.929) — the natural choice for headings.
- Lightest colour: #FFFFFF (White, luminance 1.000) — best used for backgrounds.
- Hue spread: 125° across 3 of 4 colours, which makes this a broad multicolour palette.
- Text recommendation: set type in #D5FFFF on a #FFFFFF background, and reserve #D5FFFF for borders, icons or accents.
