The color #0D3BD9, a deep shade of blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with light text (white or very pale shades) to ensure readability. Conversely, as a text color, it needs a very light background to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast ratio. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Tools are available to check the contrast ratio between foreground and background colors. For users with visual impairments, consider providing alternative styling options, such as high contrast themes. Avoid using this color as the sole indicator for important interactive elements, as users with color blindness might not be able to distinguish it. Enhance usability by incorporating other visual cues, such as labels, icons, or text descriptions, alongside the color.
