The hex color #0e2984, also known as Catalina Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when it comes to text and background contrast. When using this color for text, it's crucial to pair it with a very light color to ensure readability for all users, including those with visual impairments. A general guideline is to use a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. White (#ffffff) or a very pale yellow might work well. Avoid pairing #0e2984 with other dark colors, as this will make the text virtually unreadable. In terms of background usage, consider the foreground elements. If you have light-colored elements on a #0e2984 background, that could work well. Ensure interactive elements such as buttons or links have clear visual cues when hovered over or selected. Consider users with color blindness when using color to convey information; always provide alternative cues such as text labels or icons.
