The color #0E20A6, also known as Torea Bay, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as text against a white background, it fails to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for sufficient contrast. This means that users with low vision may struggle to read the text. Similarly, using it as a background color with white text would pose the same problem. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of the original color for the background or using white for text only for large letters, or pairing it with a much lighter color like white, light gray, or a pale yellow. This ensures that the contrast ratio is high enough for readability. Also avoid using this color for important graphical elements without a strong contrast with the surrounding colors, as users with color vision deficiencies might not perceive the differences. Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to confirm compliance.
