Contrast ledger · text & fills

Accessibility · measured contrast (WCAG 2.1 · AA = 4.5:1 text, 3:1 large ≥24px/19px-bold & non-text)

TextBody and UI text uses ink, graphite, base-400 for meta, or PTR Green. Never orange, never coral.

FillsAny orange fill carries dark text — white on orange is 3.3:1 and fails. Green and green-deep fills carry white.

{flags} of {total} pairings here fall short of 4.5:1 for normal-size text: white-on-orange (use ink instead) and the DaisyUI success + info pairs — those are for fills and large text only, so status text belongs on a --case-* pill (see the companion card). Every ratio is computed live from the linked tokens.
