The color #1057A4, also known as Tory Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly in scenarios involving text. Due to its relatively low lightness value, it may not provide sufficient contrast when used as text against a white or very light background. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text. It is crucial to evaluate the contrast ratio using online tools or accessibility checkers to ensure compliance. When using Tory Blue for text, consider pairing it with a very light or white background to maximize contrast. Alternatively, using a lighter shade of blue or a completely different, lighter color for text against a Tory Blue background could also improve accessibility. For decorative elements, the contrast requirements are less stringent, but still important to consider for users with visual impairments.
