The color #0A1E3B, also known as Tangaroa, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (ideally white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. It's crucial to test color combinations using accessibility tools to verify compliance. Furthermore, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as users with color vision deficiencies may not be able to distinguish between similar shades. Providing alternative visual cues, such as text labels or icons, will enhance accessibility for all users. When using this color for interactive elements like buttons or links, ensure that hover and focus states are clearly distinguishable through changes in color, shape, or size. Considering its darkness, it's beneficial to use it carefully in large blocks of text or for critical user interface elements.
