The hex color #071CDF, a deep shade of blue, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of 3 makes it difficult to perceive against light backgrounds, failing WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio requirements for normal text. To ensure readability, it's crucial to pair this color with very light backgrounds like white or very pale yellows. Avoid using it for critical information, links, or interactive elements unless a sufficient contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text is achieved. Tools like contrast checkers can assist in verifying compliance with accessibility standards. Consider using alternative, lighter shades of blue or other contrasting colors to enhance usability for all users.
