The color #10281A, a deep, muted green, presents several accessibility considerations. Its low luminance value means it requires careful pairing with lighter colors to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. When used for text, a light font color is crucial to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast ratios, particularly WCAG 2.1 levels AA and AAA. A contrast checker tool can help determine if the combination meets the minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. In user interface design, this color can serve as an accent, but should be used sparingly for interactive elements, and accompanied by clear visual cues. When used in charts or data visualizations, ensure distinct color differentiation to avoid ambiguity for users with color vision deficiencies. Consider providing alternative text descriptions for any content where the color conveys important information.
