The hex color #08456C, also known as Regal Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with text or foreground elements that offer sufficient contrast to ensure readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Given the darkness of Regal Blue, lighter colors like white, light yellow, or pale cyan would be appropriate choices for text. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can help verify compliance. Avoid using dark or muted colors on this background, as they will likely fail accessibility standards. Also, ensure that interactive elements such as buttons or links have clear visual cues beyond color alone to aid users with color vision deficiencies.
