The color #015445, also known as Evening Sea, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of approximately 4.4 makes it difficult to read text rendered in this color against a white or light background. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. Evening Sea typically falls short of these requirements when paired with light backgrounds. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of green or pairing it with a much lighter text color, such as white or a very pale yellow. Additionally, providing alternative cues, such as icons or labels, can help users who may have difficulty distinguishing the color.
