Due to its brightness, it's best utilized in designs that can benefit from a vivid and energetic visual element. It is also used in applications where clear and distinctive visual representation is important.

The color #0C63DB, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility considerations for web developers. Its contrast ratio against white (#FFFFFF) is relatively low, which can make text difficult to read for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Science Blue may not meet these requirements, especially for smaller font sizes. To improve accessibility, consider using a darker background color or a lighter text color to increase the contrast ratio. Alternatively, implement visual cues in addition to color to convey information, ensuring that users who are colorblind can still understand the content. Testing the color combination with accessibility tools is essential to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.
