The hex color #0C4DA8, also known as Tory Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning text contrast. When used as a background color, it requires careful consideration of the foreground text color to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text. Therefore, light colors such as white (#FFFFFF) or very light shades of yellow or gray would be suitable choices for foreground text. Conversely, using dark text colors would render the text illegible against the deep blue background. It's crucial to test color combinations using accessibility tools to verify compliance with accessibility standards. Proper attention to color contrast helps to ensure that the content is accessible to users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness.
