The color #0845CE, a deep shade of blue also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly regarding text legibility. When used as a background, it requires light-colored text (white or a very pale hue) to ensure sufficient contrast. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Avoid pairing this color with other dark shades, as it can make content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. Consider providing alternative color schemes for users who need them. For interactive elements like buttons, ensure that hover and focus states have sufficient contrast to be easily identifiable. Thoughtful application of this color can enhance visual appeal while maintaining accessibility standards.
