The hex color #0e2159, also known as Downriver, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. When used as a background color, it requires very light text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using this color as a background necessitates careful selection of foreground colors to meet these contrast requirements. For users with visual impairments, insufficient contrast can render text unreadable.

Failure to ensure adequate contrast can exclude a significant portion of your audience.
