The hex color #0C61BE, also known as Denim, presents specific accessibility considerations, especially in web design. Its relatively low luminance value means that careful attention must be paid to contrast ratios. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast between text and background is crucial for readability, particularly for users with visual impairments. When using #0C61BE as a background color, ensure that any text overlaid on it is light enough to provide a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Tools are available to check these contrast ratios and ensure compliance. Conversely, if #0C61BE is used for text, the background should be a very light color. Also, avoid relying solely on color to convey information; use supplementary cues like text labels or icons to ensure that content is accessible to all users, including those who are colorblind. Testing the design with various accessibility tools and user feedback can further refine the color choices.
