The hex color #105AC6, also known as Denim, presents some accessibility challenges, especially for users with visual impairments. Its relatively low luminance contrast against white backgrounds may make text or elements difficult to read. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text according to WCAG guidelines. When using Denim, it's crucial to pair it with lighter colors like white, off-white, or very pale yellows to ensure sufficient contrast. For dark backgrounds, lighter tints of blue or complementary colors should be considered. Testing the color combination with accessibility tools or plugins helps to verify that the contrast meets the minimum requirements, creating an inclusive and user-friendly design for a wide range of users.
