The color #024F4B, also known as Evening Sea, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used for text. Its low luminance value of approximately 0.036 means that it offers very little contrast against a standard white background. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is required for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. This color fails to meet these contrast requirements with white, necessitating careful consideration of foreground and background color pairings. To improve accessibility, it is recommended to pair #024F4B with much lighter colors, ideally near-white shades, to achieve an acceptable contrast ratio. Tools like contrast checkers can be employed to verify compliance with accessibility standards and to ensure that content is perceivable to a wider audience, including individuals with low vision or color blindness.
