Six Yellow & Purple Accessible Color Palettes (free download)

Making an accessible color palette is not as hard as it seems. But if you struggle to find combinations that are both vibrant and inclusive, I have done the work for you. These six yellow and purple palettes show that accessibility and creativity can go hand in hand.

What's included

• Six accessible color palettes based on yellow and purple
• All combinations tested to meet WCAG2.2 contrast requirements
• Light and dark mode usage examples for each palette
• Figma file with ready to use color variables
• Json and docx format for accessibility and to make it easier to import

They are easy to adapt to your own brand or project

Want to go further with accessibility?

These palettes are just the start. In my Accessibility for Designers workshops, I teach how to design accessible mockups from the very beginning. We go beyond colors to cover typography, interactions, forms, images, multimedia, and more. Available remotely or on site. Learn more about the Accessibility For Designers workshop

And if you want something you can use right away in your design process, check out my Web Accessibility Toolkit for Designers. It includes a printable A4 minimum baseline checklist, a full WCAG 2.2 design checklist, and annotation kits for Figma, Sketch, and Penpot to help you document accessibility directly in your mockups. It is designed to save time, avoid common issues, and help teams implement accessibility requirements correctly. Get the toolkit
