The color #101A16, also known as Aztec, has very low contrast with white text, making it difficult to read for many users. A contrast ratio of 1.0 to 1 with white falls far short of accessibility standards such as WCAG. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter text color like a very light gray or white.

Providing alternative color schemes and offering users the ability to customize colors can further enhance accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. Regular accessibility audits can help identify and address potential issues.
