This can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the content. To ensure accessibility, it's recommended to use a contrast checker to verify that the color combination meets WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. Pairing it with a much lighter color for text or a darker shade for the background is advisable. Also consider providing alternative styling options for users who need them. Providing sufficient contrast is crucial for ensuring that your website is usable by everyone, including those with low vision or color blindness. Using this color for decorative purposes or larger elements might be more appropriate than using it for small text.
