The hex color #0764CF, also known as Science Blue, presents specific accessibility considerations for web developers. When used as a foreground color, it demands careful selection of the background color to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text to meet Level AA compliance. Testing tools like the WebAIM contrast checker can help verify compliance. Insufficient contrast can hinder readability, particularly for users with visual impairments. Additionally, relying solely on color to convey information is discouraged. Providing alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, enhances accessibility for users who are colorblind or have difficulty distinguishing colors. Careful consideration of these factors ensures a more inclusive and user-friendly web experience.
