The hex color #041E59, also known as Downriver, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of 1.4 means that text or graphical elements rendered in this color will have very poor contrast against a white or light-colored background. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is required for normal text and 3:1 for large text. #041E59 falls far short of these recommendations. To ensure accessibility, it is crucial to pair this dark blue with very light colors, such as white (#FFFFFF) or light yellow (#FFFFE0), to achieve sufficient contrast. Using online contrast checkers can help verify compliance with accessibility standards. Additionally, avoid using #041E59 for crucial UI elements or text where readability is paramount, as users with low vision or color blindness may struggle to perceive them.
