The hex color #0E268A, also known as Resolution Blue, presents some accessibility challenges due to its dark hue. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between the text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet Level AA compliance. Using a color contrast checker is crucial to verify compliance. Conversely, if #0E268A is used for text, it should be paired with a very light background to achieve the same contrast requirements. Avoid pairing it with mid-tone or dark colors, as this will likely result in poor readability and hinder accessibility for users, especially those with visual impairments.
