The hex color #101E88, also known as Resolution Blue, presents some accessibility challenges due to its relatively low luminance. When used as a foreground color on a white background, it may not meet the contrast ratios recommended by WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) for Level AA or Level AAA compliance. This means that users with visual impairments, such as those with low vision or color blindness, may find it difficult to read text or distinguish elements using this color. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of blue or pairing it with a brighter background color to ensure sufficient contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the color combination meets accessibility standards. Furthermore, avoid using this color as the sole indicator of important information, such as links or error messages, as colorblind users may not be able to perceive it. Always provide alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, to ensure inclusivity.
