Due to its relatively low luminance, it is essential to ensure sufficient contrast when used as text against a background. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using a light background color can help meet these contrast requirements. Additionally, avoid using this color as the sole indicator of important information, such as links or interactive elements.

When using this color for buttons or form fields, ensure that the focus state is clearly visible. Finally, consider providing a high-contrast theme option for users who need increased contrast.
