Cosmos Brand Colors
Cosmos is a decentralized network of interoperable blockchains designed to solve the scalability and sovereignty problems of standalone blockchain projects using the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. Its ATOM token powers its Proof of Stake hub. Cosmos's dark space-inspired brand with starfield imagery reflects its vision of an interconnected internet of blockchains.
Cosmos's published brand guidelines record two official colors: Dusty Gray (#9B9594) and Westar (#E2DDD5). None reaches the 4.5:1 contrast ratio WCAG AA requires of normal-size body text on a white background; fills, headline-size text, and non-text roles remain their usable roles.

Accessibility of the Cosmos palette
Of the 2 recorded colors, 0 reach the WCAG 2.1 AA ratio of 4.5:1 against a white background — the threshold normal-size body text must meet. Colors below that line are not failures of the palette: they remain valid as fills carrying white text, as large text at the 3:1 threshold, and as borders, icons, and other non-text elements, which SC 1.4.11 also holds to 3:1. A logotype set in such a color is exempt from the requirement entirely.
