The color #0365C7, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility considerations for web developers. Due to its relatively low luminance, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast with text or other foreground elements. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. When using #0365C7 as a background, opt for light-colored text, such as white or very pale yellow, to achieve adequate contrast. Similarly, if using it for text, choose a much darker background. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Additionally, consider users with color vision deficiencies. While blue is generally well-perceived, relying solely on color to convey information can be problematic. Always provide alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, to ensure inclusivity. Testing your designs with color blindness simulators can also reveal potential issues and guide adjustments for better accessibility.
