The color #105D8B, also known as Venice Blue, presents some accessibility challenges due to its relatively low luminance. When used as a background color, it's crucial to ensure that the text layered on top has sufficient contrast to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular). Lighter text colors, such as white (#FFFFFF) or very light grays, would be suitable choices to provide adequate contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can be used to verify compliance. When #105D8B is used for interactive elements, focus indicators should be clearly visible to ensure keyboard navigation is accessible. Furthermore, avoid using color alone to convey important information; supplement it with text or icons to accommodate users with color vision deficiencies.
