The color #0B59DB, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a text color on a white or very light background. Its luminance value is relatively low, which results in a limited contrast ratio. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability, particularly for users with visual impairments. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Therefore, when using Science Blue for text, it's essential to pair it with a very light or white background, ensuring to check the contrast ratio using an online tool. Conversely, it can work well as a background color when paired with white or very light text, providing better readability. Consider using color combinations that meet accessibility standards to ensure your website or application is inclusive and user-friendly for everyone, including those with disabilities.
