The color #122A20, a deep shade of green, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used for text. Its low luminance value of approximately 5 means that it requires careful consideration of contrast ratios against background colors. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for users with visual impairments. For small text (below 18pt or 14pt bold), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended, while for large text, a ratio of 3:1 is acceptable. When using #122A20 for text, it's essential to pair it with a very light color to meet these contrast requirements. If this color is used as a background, it requires light foreground elements. Using online contrast checkers can help ensure compliance with accessibility standards, promoting a better user experience for everyone, including those with low vision or color blindness. Ensure interactive elements meet the same requirements for accessibility.
