Its extremely low luminance makes it difficult to perceive, especially for individuals with visual impairments. When used as a background color, sufficient contrast with text and other foreground elements is crucial. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text, according to WCAG guidelines.

Proper use of ARIA attributes can also enhance accessibility for screen reader users, ensuring that content is perceivable and understandable.
