- Highest contrast: #FFC1C1 against #FFFFCC at 1.50:1 — the safest pair here for body copy.
- Lowest contrast: #FFC1C1 against #FFC5C5 at 1.03:1 — decorative use only, it does not meet WCAG AA for text.
- Darkest colour: #FFC1C1 (Pink, luminance 0.633) — the natural choice for headings.
- Lightest colour: #FFFFCC (Cream, luminance 0.971) — best used for backgrounds.
- Hue spread: 60° across 4 of 4 colours, which makes this a analogous palette.
- Text recommendation: set type in #FFC1C1 on a #FFFFCC background, and reserve #FFC1C1 for borders, icons or accents.
