Find a palette that complies with the below listed criteria while staying true to our Wikimedia identity (trustworthy, academic, neutral, open, inviting).
[[ https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-contrast.html | WCAG 2 color contrast guidelines ]]:
WCAG AA Compliant (normal text size and 18pt+)
WCAG AAA Compliant (normal text size and 18pt+)
> A user with 20/40 would thus require a contrast ratio of 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 to 1. Following analogous empirical findings and the same logic, the user with 20/80 visual acuity would require contrast of about 7:1 [to pass all four criteria including WCAG AAA at normal text size].

Tool used for color-deficiency simulation: [[ https://michelf.ca/projects/sim-daltonism/ | Sim Daltonism (Mac OS, iOS) ]]; alternatively: [[http://gmazzocato.altervista.org/colorwheel/wheel.php | Accessibility color wheel]] (Online tool, simulating protanopia, deuteranopia & tritanopia)
We're checking mostly on the [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Dichromacy | most common color-deficiency ]]— the Red–green color blindness (Protanopia, deuteranopia, protanomaly, and deuteranomaly).
This deficiency experience difficulty with discriminating **red** and **green** hues.

All chosen colors **must** be extensible and modular. Background colors should be able to be used with 1-3 bold/regular-weight text to long form content. This is so we can apply as little guideline as possible and let the usage be as endless as possible for all contributors.
Be mindful of the most used text colors—white and black.
