Julie’s colour scheme

This is very exciting as we have received our first submitted colour scheme, so thanks to Julie for the following:

Colour block: #204e77
#204e77
Colour block: #a99a89
#a99a89
Colour block: #7d6488
#7d6488
Colour block: #5d1f22
#5d1f22
Colour block: #ffaa01
#ffaa01

There is just one accessible pairing of colours in this selection:

1. #5d1f22 and #ffaa01 Example 1.1 Example 1.2

I would therefore suggest changing the orange for white and maybe lightening the taupe a bit, to give the following:

Colour block: #204e77
#204e77
Colour block: #cfc7bd
#cfc7bd
Colour block: #7d6488
#7d6488
Colour block: #5d1f22
#5d1f22
Colour block: #ffffff
#ffffff

And these accessible combinations:

1. #ffffff and #204e77 Example 1.1 Example 1.2
2. #ffffff and #7d6488 Example 2.1 Example 2.2
3. #ffffff and #5d1f22 Example 3.1 Example 3.2
4. #cfc7bd and #204e77 Example 4.1 Example 4.2
5. #cfc7bd and #5d1f22 Example 5.1 Example 5.2

Of course there are other ways of increasing the contrast between the suggested colours - instead of bringing in the white I could have chosen a lighter shade of orange so that it would work with the blue. Thanks again for the suggestion, keep them coming!
