The color #0647E0, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning text legibility. Due to its relatively low luminance value, using this color as a background for light-colored text can create insufficient contrast, making it difficult for users, especially those with visual impairments, to read the content comfortably. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines. It is advisable to pair this color with white or very light shades to meet accessibility standards. When using it for interactive elements like buttons or links, ensure sufficient visual cues beyond color alone are present to accommodate users with color vision deficiencies. Thoughtful consideration of color combinations and contrast ratios is crucial to ensure an inclusive and user-friendly web experience.
