The color #130098, a deep ultramarine, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly concerning contrast. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, ideally meeting WCAG AA or AAA standards. Conversely, if used as a text color, it requires a very light background. Due to its low luminosity, it's not suitable for small text or intricate graphical details. Designers should carefully evaluate color contrast ratios using accessibility tools to avoid making content inaccessible to users with visual impairments. Alternatives might involve lightening the color slightly or pairing it with high-contrast accents to improve overall visibility and usability. Careful consideration of font sizes and weights is also critical when using this color for text elements. Always test with various users and assistive technologies.
