The hex color #077191, also known as Blue Lagoon, presents some accessibility considerations, particularly for text and interactive elements. Its relatively low lightness value means that it requires careful pairing with contrasting colors to ensure readability and usability. When used as a background color, it is essential to use light text (white or very pale shades) to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast ratios. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. For users with visual impairments, insufficient contrast can make content difficult or impossible to perceive. Therefore, tools should be used to assess the contrast ratio between this color and foreground elements to ensure compliance and optimize the user experience. Also, avoid using this color as the only way to convey information, use icons and text at the same time.
