The color #113687, also known as Catalina Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used for text or interactive elements. Its dark hue results in a low contrast ratio against standard white backgrounds, potentially making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read or discern important information. To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to pair Catalina Blue with lighter colors that provide sufficient contrast, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Utilizing tools that assess color contrast can help designers make informed decisions and create inclusive designs. Furthermore, providing alternative cues like icons or labels can benefit users who may struggle to differentiate elements solely based on color.
