The color #0C3BDA, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a foreground color for text or interactive elements, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast against the background. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using a light background color is often not recommended because the contrast ratio would be too low. Tools for checking color contrast can help designers verify compliance with these standards. Also, providing alternative cues besides color such as labels or icons can improve accessibility for users with color vision deficiencies. It is best practice to make use of these tools and not rely on assumptions.
