The hex color #073d57, also known as Teal Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its low lightness value of 0.14. This directly impacts the contrast ratio when paired with lighter text or background colors. For text to be readable, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast according to WCAG guidelines. For normal-sized text (below 18pt), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended, while for larger text (18pt and above or 14pt bold and above), a contrast ratio of 3:1 is required. Using #073d57 for text on a white background, for example, would fail these contrast checks. Therefore, to ensure accessibility, it is vital to use #073d57 with significantly lighter colors, and it may be most accessible when used for purely decorative purposes. Consider tools that measure contrast ratios to verify compliance with accessibility standards. Using darker color schemes may result in accessibility issues for people with low vision or color vision deficiencies.
