The color #04293A, also known as Daintree, presents considerable accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its very low luminance value of 1.47 makes it difficult to achieve sufficient contrast against lighter backgrounds, which is crucial for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This dark hue often fails to meet these standards when paired with mid-tone grays or even some lighter colors. Web developers employing #04293A should carefully consider its use for text or interactive elements. Ensuring adequate contrast through careful color pairing or the strategic use of borders and outlines is vital for creating an inclusive and accessible user experience. Tools are available to assess color contrast ratios to help designers make informed decisions. When in doubt, opting for a significantly lighter color for text or interactive elements when using #04293A as a background color is advisable.
