The color #12072E, a very dark shade of violet, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of approximately 1% means that text rendered in this color requires extremely light foreground colors to achieve sufficient contrast. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text to meet WCAG AA standards. Using a tool like a contrast checker is essential to ensure compliance. Due to its darkness, it is unsuitable for backgrounds behind large amounts of text. Careful consideration is needed when used for interactive elements, ensuring they are clearly distinguishable through sufficient contrast and, ideally, additional visual cues, such as borders or icons.
