The color #095601, also known as San Felix, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value of 0.011 makes it difficult to read when used as text against a white background. According to WCAG guidelines, it fails the contrast ratio test for both normal text (4.5:1) and large text (3:1). To improve accessibility, it's crucial to pair this color with much lighter shades, such as whites or very light yellows or greens, to ensure sufficient contrast. Using it as a background color is not recommended unless paired with white or very light text. Consider alternative color combinations or text enlargement to enhance readability for users with visual impairments. Furthermore, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as colorblind users may not be able to distinguish it properly.
