The hex color #122EB8, also known as Persian Blue, has a relatively low luminance. This means text rendered in white against this background will generally have sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG AA standards for normal text sizes. However, for smaller text sizes (below 18pt or 14pt bold), it's crucial to verify contrast ratios, ideally aiming for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. Using color contrast tools is highly recommended to ensure compliance. For users with more severe visual impairments, aiming for the AAA standard (contrast ratio of 7:1) might be necessary, which may necessitate lightening the color or using a darker text color. Consider providing options for users to adjust the color scheme for personalized accessibility.
