The hex color #0C68DB, also known as Science Blue, presents certain accessibility considerations, particularly in web design. Its contrast ratio with white text is relatively low, potentially failing WCAG standards for normal text. This can make content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. When using this color for backgrounds, it's vital to ensure sufficient contrast by pairing it with lighter text colors like white or very light grays. Conversely, if used for text, consider a darker background. Tools like contrast checkers can help assess compliance with accessibility guidelines, promoting inclusive design. Also, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information; supplement with text labels or icons.
