The color #11221e, also known as Aztec, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a primary color for text or interactive elements. Due to its low luminance, the contrast ratio against a white background is insufficient to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text (AA compliance). To ensure accessibility, it is crucial to pair #11221e with a much lighter color for text, such as shades of white or very light grays, to achieve a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. Alternatively, for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular), a contrast ratio of 3:1 is acceptable. When using #11221e for non-text elements like icons or graphical components, ensure these elements are not the sole means of conveying important information, or provide alternative ways for users to access the content. Consider providing alternative high-contrast themes or allowing users to customize colors to meet their individual needs. Proper use of ARIA attributes can also enhance accessibility by providing semantic information to assistive technologies.
