What New Reed Green says about the March 17 birthday

You bend with the season and never break, which is its own quiet genius. This reed-green asks you to trust your flexibility. Work shifts, and you shift better than most. Decide by testing rather than theorising. Rest wherever the current is gentle. Connect across differences, since you translate between people naturally. Create in collaboration, because your ideas sharpen when someone else pushes back on them kindly and precisely.

Text that stays readable on New Reed Green

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	8.63:1	AAA
White text on the swatch	2.17:1	Below 3:1
The color as text on its lightest tint	1.70:1	Below 3:1
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	7.32:1	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.
