In color psychology, blue is known to promote feelings of calmness and serenity.

The color #0E41D8, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a text color against a white or light background. Its relatively low luminance can result in insufficient contrast, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the text comfortably. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Persian Blue may not meet these ratios against lighter backgrounds, necessitating careful consideration of color pairings. To improve accessibility, consider using Persian Blue with darker backgrounds or pairing it with lighter, contrasting colors such as shades of yellow or white that ensure adequate contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help assess the contrast ratio between text and background colors to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Additionally, providing alternative text descriptions for images using Persian Blue can enhance accessibility for screen reader users.
