Unity Color	`new Color(0.961f, 0.961f, 0.863f, 1.0f)`Color for everyday scripting (0–1). Color32 when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unity Color32	`new Color32(245, 245, 220, 255)`
Unreal FLinearColor	`FLinearColor(0.9131f, 0.9131f, 0.7157f, 1.0f)`FLinearColor for materials and lighting. FColor when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unreal FColor	`FColor(245, 245, 220, 255)`Whole numbers from 0 to 255 — use when an API asks for FColor, not FLinearColor.

Contrast and accessibility

WCAG 2 ratios are what audits and legislation reference. APCA is shown alongside because WCAG 2 is known to misjudge mid-tone backgrounds, and it is the basis of the WCAG 3 draft.
