What Willow Veil says about the May 17 birthday

You bend rather than break, and you have stopped apologizing for it. Plans shift and you shift, which looks like indecision to the impatient and looks like wisdom to anyone paying attention. Create during transitions, on trains and in hallways. Decide once you feel the shape of the room. You rest by doing something with no outcome at all.

Text that stays readable on Willow Veil

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	10.04:1	AAA
White text on the swatch	1.86:1	Below 3:1
The color as text on its lightest tint	1.53:1	Below 3:1
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	7.08:1	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.
