What Merlot Twilight says about the January 20 birthday

You hold two truths at once and make it look effortless. Part warmth, part distance, and entirely your own. In these late winter days, let that complexity be a feature rather than a problem to solve. Decide slowly and trust your ambivalence, it is accuracy. Rest when the light fades. Create something with a strange beauty. Connect most easily with those who do not demand you choose a side.

Text that stays readable on Merlot Twilight

Contrast is measured with the WCAG 2.1 formula, so the pairing a low-vision reader needs is a number here rather than a guess.

Text on background	Ratio	WCAG
Dark ink on the swatch	2.54:1	Below 3:1
White text on the swatch	7.37:1	AAA
The color as text on its lightest tint	4.26:1	AA large
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	8.44:1	AAA

Body text needs 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA); text from 24px, or 19px bold, needs 3:1. Every ratio above is computed from the hex values on this page.
