The hex color #114D10, also known as Dark Fern, presents certain accessibility challenges, particularly regarding contrast. When used as a foreground color, it requires careful consideration of the background color to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Dark Fern might not meet these requirements when paired with lighter shades of green or darker backgrounds. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter color for text on a Dark Fern background or vice versa. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the chosen color combination meets accessibility standards. Implementing these considerations ensures a more inclusive and user-friendly design.
