The hex color #082490, also known as Resolution Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, ideally aiming for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 as per WCAG guidelines for Level AA compliance. Using darker shades of text will make it difficult for users, especially those with visual impairments, to read content effectively. In user interface design, avoid pairing #082490 with colors that have similar luminance values. Providing alternative color schemes or a user-adjustable color setting can further enhance accessibility. Ensure interactive elements using this color provide clear visual cues on hover or focus to aid users with motor impairments and those relying on keyboard navigation.
