The color #064E57, also known as Sherpa Blue, presents some accessibility challenges. Due to its dark nature, it requires careful consideration when used as a background or text color. A light foreground color is necessary to ensure sufficient contrast, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text is recommended. Using online contrast checkers can help verify compliance. When this color is used for interactive elements like buttons or links, it's important to provide clear visual cues, such as hover effects or underlines, to indicate their interactive nature. Additionally, avoid using this color alone to convey important information, as users with color vision deficiencies may struggle to distinguish it from other dark colors. Providing alternative cues, like text labels or icons, enhances accessibility for all users.
