The color #0368B0, also known as Allports, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a primary background or text color. Its relatively low lightness value means that it requires careful consideration of contrast ratios, particularly when paired with text. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for users with visual impairments to perceive content effectively. For normal text (size less than 18pt) a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended, while for large text (size 18pt and above, or 14pt bold and above) a contrast ratio of 3:1 is required. When using #0368B0 for text, ensure that it's paired with a very light color to meet these contrast standards. If used as a background, ensure foreground elements such as text and icons have adequate contrast. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can help verify compliance. Employing this color in interactive elements like buttons also necessitates attention to focus indicators to ensure keyboard users can easily identify the currently focused element.
