The hex color #084A6E, also known as Regal Blue, presents some accessibility challenges due to its relatively low luminance. When used as a background color, it's crucial to ensure that the foreground text has sufficient contrast to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular). Using online contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Additionally, consider providing alternative color schemes to accommodate users with visual impairments or color blindness. For instance, a high-contrast mode with a lighter background and darker text can significantly improve readability for a broader audience. It is advisable to avoid using this color for elements that convey critical information, such as error messages, without proper contrast, as it could hinder comprehension.
