When used as a text color, it requires a very light background to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. If this contrast isn't achieved, users with visual impairments may struggle to read the content. Similarly, when used as a background color, it necessitates a very light text color. Careful consideration must be given to the combination of #0533EA with other design elements. Using online contrast checkers is advisable to ensure compliance and optimal readability for all users. Developers should also provide alternative styling options, such as a high-contrast mode, to further enhance accessibility.
