The hex color #0C728C, also known as Blue Lagoon, presents some accessibility considerations for web developers. Its relatively low lightness value means it will likely need to be paired with a light-colored text to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet Level AA compliance. For Level AAA, these ratios increase to 7:1 and 4.5:1, respectively. Using tools to evaluate the contrast ratio is crucial. When #0C728C is used as a background, white or very light grays are generally suitable text colors. When used for text, ensure the background is a light color. Also, avoid using this color alone to convey important information; always provide a redundant cue, such as text or icons, to ensure accessibility for users with color vision deficiencies. Testing with color blindness simulators is recommended.
