Text that stays readable
Sale graphics are read in a second, often on a phone in sunlight. These text and background pairs all pass the WCAG AA contrast level for normal text:
- White on Jet Black, and Bright Gold on Jet Black
- White on Sale Red or Deep Red
- Black on Tag Yellow
- White on Navy, and Ink on Cream
- Night text on Neon Mint, and White on Electric Violet
White on Coral looks bright but is harder to read, so keep Coral for shapes and buttons with large text, not small print.
Screen versus print
HEX codes describe colors on a screen. Neon mint, cyan and violet cannot be printed as brightly as they look on a phone, and bright reds and yellows shift on vinyl and banner material. Ask for a printed proof and check it in daylight before the sale goes up.
