The color #009B3F, also known as Salem, offers moderate accessibility. Its relatively dark hue provides sufficient contrast against white backgrounds, meeting WCAG AA standards for normal text sizes. However, when paired with lighter shades of green or colors of similar lightness, contrast can become problematic, potentially failing accessibility guidelines, especially for users with visual impairments. When designing user interfaces, ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for standard text and 3:1 for large text and graphical elements. This color is most effectively used with white, off-white, or darker backgrounds to maintain readability. Consider using contrast checking tools to validate combinations before finalizing designs. Moreover, avoid using it as the sole indicator of important information, such as error messages, due to accessibility concerns for color-blind users. Supplement color cues with text or icons to ensure universal usability.
