The hex color #074091, also known as Congress Blue, presents some accessibility considerations, particularly in web design. Its dark hue results in a low contrast ratio when paired with similarly dark colors, making text or interface elements difficult for users with visual impairments to discern. To ensure inclusivity, it's crucial to use Congress Blue with light-colored backgrounds or text. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA standards. Tools like contrast checkers can assist designers in verifying compliance. Furthermore, providing alternative styling options, such as high-contrast themes, can enhance the accessibility of websites and applications for all users.
