The hex color #0b2233, also known as Firefly, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to select a foreground text color that offers sufficient contrast to ensure readability for individuals with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Moreover, avoid using #0b2233 for conveying critical information solely through color, as this excludes colorblind users. Consider providing alternative visual cues, such as text labels or icons, to reinforce the message. Careful consideration of these factors ensures that designs incorporating #0b2233 are accessible and inclusive to a wider audience.
