The color #081290, a deep ultramarine, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as text against a white background, it fails to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for sufficient contrast. This means users with low vision or color blindness may struggle to read the content. To improve accessibility, consider using it sparingly for decorative elements or in combination with lighter text colors like white or light yellow, ensuring a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Alternatives include using darker shades of blue or employing color contrast tools to verify compliance with accessibility standards. Ensure that any interactive elements using this color have clear visual cues beyond color alone to aid users with visual impairments.
