Catalina Blue, with its deep, saturated hue, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance (darkness) means that text rendered in this color requires very high contrast with the background to be readable, especially for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using Catalina Blue for text, lighter colors such as white, light gray, or light yellow should be used as background colors. It's crucial to test the color combination with accessibility tools to ensure compliance. If using this color for interactive elements, ensure sufficient visual cues beyond color alone are present to assist users who may have difficulty distinguishing it. Providing alternative text descriptions for images that use this color heavily will also improve accessibility.
