The color #086B90, also known as Bahama Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background color. Its low lightness value (approximately 25%) means that text on top of it should be light to provide sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. When using #086B90 as a background, ensure that the foreground text color meets these contrast requirements. White (#FFFFFF) or very light shades of gray would be suitable choices. Avoid using dark text colors, as they will likely fail accessibility checks, making the content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Also consider providing alternative color schemes to accommodate users with specific visual needs.
