The hex color #0B0ECB, a deep shade of dark blue, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value of 14 means that it requires careful consideration when used as a background or text color. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text against a background. #0B0ECB falls short of these requirements when paired with standard white (#FFFFFF). To ensure readability and usability for individuals with visual impairments, it is best to avoid using this color for body text. If you must use this color, be sure to use it with very light colors such as white or yellow to ensure that the contrast ration is high enough.
