Marketing > Accessibility

To ensure our brand is inclusive and accessible to all users, color usage must comply with accessibility standards, particularly when layering text, icons, or graphics on colored backgrounds.

Ensure strong contrast Text and important elements must have enough contrast with the background. Aim for a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 to ensure readability for everyone.

Don’t rely on color alone Color should never be the only way to convey information. Always use labels, icons, or patterns alongside color to support users with visual impairments.

Avoid busy backgrounds Don’t place text over images or textured backgrounds unless there’s a solid overlay that keeps the text easy to read.
