The hex color #081E21 presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its low luminance. When used as a background color, text needs to be carefully chosen to provide sufficient contrast. A light color such as #FFFFFF or shades of gray, such as #D3D3D3 can offer improved readability. Using this color for text could be problematic. It's also important to consider individuals with visual impairments, who may struggle to discern elements using this color against a dark background.

Testing with accessibility tools is important to ensure compliance and inclusive design. Avoid using it for crucial interactive elements without sufficient contrast.
