The color #025B96, also known as Bahama Blue, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. Its low luminance value means it requires careful consideration when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for users with visual impairments to perceive content effectively.

Avoid pairing it with dark colors, as this can render the content illegible for many users. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance with accessibility standards, ensuring a more inclusive user experience.
