Accessible content is not just “nice to have,” it is a baseline requirement for everything we create. We adhere to WCAG AA standards for all of our online communications.

To make choosing accessible colors easy, we have created this chart showing the accessible and non-accessible combinations of our primary and secondary color palette as applied to large text (24px and larger, 19px bold and larger), small text (23.9px and smaller, 18.9px bold and smaller) and graphic elements.  (Source credit for text.)

Colors below are represented with HEX numbers. For corresponding Pantone, CMYK, and RGB values, see the main Color Palettes page.
