What this means in practice
- Highest contrast: #FFF3C2 against #FFFFD1 at 1.09:1 — the safest pair here for body copy.
- Lowest contrast: #DAFFBD against #FFF3C2 at 1.01:1 — decorative use only, it does not meet WCAG AA for text.
- Darkest colour: #FFF3C2 (Lemon Chiffon, luminance 0.893) — the natural choice for headings.
- Lightest colour: #FFFFD1 (Cream, luminance 0.974) — best used for backgrounds.
- Hue spread: 132° across 4 of 4 colours, which makes this a broad multicolour palette.
- Text recommendation: set type in #FFF3C2 on a #FFFFD1 background, and reserve #DAFFBD for borders, icons or accents.
