This dark shade of blue-black results in very poor contrast against standard white backgrounds, making text and user interface elements difficult to read for individuals with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio falls far below the minimum recommended levels for both normal and large text.

Ensure that interactive elements using this color have clear and distinct visual cues to aid users with cognitive disabilities. Thoughtful design adjustments are essential to ensure inclusivity.
