Colour Pallet

Colour pallet is based on rose PyLadies Geek logo (with a slight variation to be more accessible and have more peers). Pallet has variations with blue and yellow (following Python, but also using tones variations) and grays derived from Black Olive (as it's a bit greener and fits beautiful with roses). Colour pallet can go for a more light deviation or more pastel, depending on situation... and also to never be bored.

Main PyLadies colour *adapted #DC0043 Dark rose: #8C002B | Light rose: #FFD6DA Dark blue: #232F40 | Light blue: #B2CCE5 Main yellow: FFD700 | Light yellow: #FFED8C Dark gray: #3A3F3A | Medium gray: #818481 | Light gray: #A5A7A5

Notes... All darks has being colour checked to match all lights. But darks cannot go with darks nor lights with lights. Main colour can go with any colour, BUT be aware that constrast average will be 3, the minimum acceptable. All darks goes well with white, as well as all lights goes well with black. Main can go with both, better with white, but as noted before, with minimum accessibility acceptable. Medium gray goes with nothing o_O please use with moderation, just for details or gradient.
