The hex color #0961DD, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially regarding contrast. When used as a foreground color for text, it requires careful consideration of the background color to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. This blue hue may not meet these ratios with lighter backgrounds, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. Using a darker background or a lighter shade of blue can significantly improve accessibility. Additionally, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information; supplement it with text or other visual cues to ensure inclusivity for color-blind users.
