When used as text against a white background, the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for Level AA compliance, requiring a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This means that users with moderate visual impairments may find it difficult to read. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of text on a darker background or pairing it with a significantly lighter color to ensure sufficient contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate the color combinations and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, thus providing a better experience for all users, including those with disabilities.
