# Text Color

## Essence

Primary foreground color for readable text.

## Tokens

- Base: `--color-text` = `#191b1f / rgb(25, 27, 31)`.
- Inverse: `--color-text-inverse` = `--color-bg` = `#ffffff / rgb(255, 255, 255)`.

## Internal Rules

- Use only as a foreground text/icon color.
- Use the inverse token on inverse backgrounds and surfaces.
- Do not reuse this semantic token as a background.

## Accessibility Notes

Validate contrast against the actual consuming background.
