Problem: Using too many different text colors can be jarring and reduce readability.
This is an example of using far too many different text colors within a single block of text . It looks very chaotic .
Solution: Use color sparingly and purposefully. Stick to a limited palette.
A better approach involves using standard text color like
text-gray-700
for most content, and then
selectively applying
color for emphasis or
critical alerts
.
Problem: Poor contrast between text color and background color makes text hard to read, which is a major accessibility issue.
This light blue text (
text-blue-400
) on a light blue background (
bg-blue-200
) is very hard to read.
This medium gray text (
text-gray-500
) on a light gray background (
bg-gray-300
) also lacks sufficient contrast.
This darker blue text (
text-blue-700
) on the same light blue background (
bg-blue-200
) is much clearer.
Black text (
text-black
) on a light gray background (
bg-gray-300
) provides excellent contrast.
