When used as a background color, it's crucial to ensure that the text or elements placed on top of it have sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) to meet AA accessibility standards. To improve accessibility, consider pairing #102B2C with lighter shades of yellow, white, or other high-contrast colors. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can be invaluable in verifying compliance. Avoid using #102B2C for essential interactive elements unless accompanied by clear visual cues and sufficient contrast, as users with low vision may struggle to perceive them otherwise. Furthermore, providing alternative color schemes can enhance the user experience for individuals with specific visual impairments or preferences.
