The hex color #124B33, also known as Everglade, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its relatively low luminance of approximately 7% means that text rendered in this color on a white background may not provide sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) to ensure readability. When using #124B33 for text, it is crucial to select a light-colored background to achieve an adequate contrast ratio. White or very light shades of green or yellow would be suitable choices. Conversely, avoid pairing #124B33 with dark backgrounds, as this would further reduce contrast and make the text nearly illegible. For decorative elements, the contrast requirements are less stringent, but it's still advisable to ensure sufficient contrast for users with moderate visual impairments. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can be used to evaluate the contrast ratio between #124B33 and other colors.
