The color #114D29, a dark shade of green, presents several accessibility considerations for web development. Its low lightness value (approximately 15%) means it offers insufficient contrast against a standard white background, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, it's crucial to pair this color with significantly lighter text or interface elements. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for body text, as per WCAG guidelines. Using tools to check contrast ratios is highly advisable during the design process. Furthermore, avoid using #114D29 as the sole indicator for interactive elements or to convey crucial information, as users with color blindness may struggle to differentiate it. Consider providing supplementary cues such as labels, icons, or text descriptions to ensure inclusivity and universal usability.
