The color #112B21, a dark, muted green, presents certain accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value means it may not provide sufficient contrast against lighter backgrounds, potentially making text or interactive elements difficult to read for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability. For normal text (size 14 points or 18 points bold or larger), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended. For large text (size 18 points or 24 points bold or larger), the minimum contrast ratio is 3:1. When using #112B21, it's essential to pair it with a very light color to ensure adequate contrast. Careful consideration should be given to users with low vision or color blindness, as they may struggle to distinguish elements using this color against similar dark backgrounds. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate the accessibility of color combinations.
