It is important to consider its low luminance when using it in design, particularly in contexts where readability and accessibility are crucial.

The color #031706, a deep, muted green, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value (very dark) results in poor contrast against most background colors, including white. This makes it difficult for individuals with low vision to distinguish text or graphical elements rendered in this color. To ensure accessibility, it is imperative to use #031706 sparingly and always pair it with a very light background color, such as #FFFFFF or #F0F0F0. Furthermore, avoid using it for crucial interactive elements or links without sufficient visual cues, like underlines or icons. Adhering to WCAG guidelines for contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text) is essential when incorporating #031706 in web design. Also, providing alternative text descriptions for images that uses this color is critical to maintain proper accessibility.
