The color #0E140E, a very dark shade of green, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance value makes it difficult to discern text or elements rendered in this color against most backgrounds, including white. The contrast ratio is likely to fall far below the WCAG recommended minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. To improve accessibility, it is highly advisable to avoid using #0E140E for text or interactive elements. If it must be used, ensure a very light background color is employed to provide sufficient contrast. Consider using a color contrast checker to verify compliance with accessibility standards and to identify appropriate color pairings that meet the needs of users with visual impairments.
