The color #0D50D9, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as text on a white background. Its relatively low luminance can result in insufficient contrast, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Science Blue often falls short of these recommendations, potentially excluding a significant portion of users.

Always test color combinations with accessibility evaluation tools to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and provide a better user experience for everyone.
