What Crimson Threshold says about the October 16 birthday

In you there is a doorway painted deep red, the one others cross when something must finally change. You decide at the hinge, fully, without looking back at the old room. Work is best when it marks a real turning rather than a small adjustment. Rest is the quiet just after a threshold is crossed. People remember where they were standing when they met you.

Text that stays readable on Crimson Threshold

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	2.66:1	Below 3:1
White text on the swatch	7.05:1	AAA
The color as text on its lightest tint	3.91:1	AA large
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	8.39:1	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.
