The color #0C2827, also known as Firefly, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value of 3 means it requires careful consideration when used as text or as an element's background. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability. When using Firefly for text, it's imperative to pair it with a very light background color to ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Otherwise, users with visual impairments might struggle to read the content. Similarly, if Firefly is used as a background, any foreground elements must be light enough to meet these contrast requirements. Using online contrast checkers can help to verify compliance. Also, it is advised to provide alternative styling options to users, where they can override the initial color choices.
