What Violet Hour Glass says about the May 1 birthday

A hunch keeps returning and you keep dismissing it. Stop that. Write it down and give it a fair hearing. You read rooms better than you admit and you already know what the meeting will decide. Use that to prepare, not to preempt. After all the noticing, you need quiet company or none at all. Choose none guiltlessly.

Text that stays readable on Violet Hour Glass

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	6.75:1	AA
White text on the swatch	2.78:1	Below 3:1
The color as text on its lightest tint	2.04:1	Below 3:1
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	7.52:1	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.
