Due to its dark nature, it's important to use this color carefully to ensure sufficient contrast and readability.

The color #071A94, also known as Resolution Blue, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its extremely low luminance value of 2 means that text rendered in this color against a white background will have very poor contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio is far below the minimum requirement of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This makes it difficult for users to read and can cause eye strain. To improve accessibility, consider using a much lighter text color on a #071A94 background or using #071A94 text on a very light background. Also ensure that any interactive elements using this color have sufficient visual cues beyond color alone. For example, use bold text, underlines, or icons to distinguish links and buttons.
