The hex color #131108, a very dark shade of green, poses significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its extremely low luminance value (around 1%) makes it difficult to distinguish from black, reducing readability when used for text or interface elements. To ensure accessibility, it is crucial to avoid using #131108 as a primary text color or for essential interactive components. When paired with light backgrounds, the contrast ratio may still fall below the WCAG recommended levels for normal text (4.5:1) and large text (3:1). Therefore, if this color must be used, consider increasing the font size and weight to improve readability. When this color is used as background, use bright colors as foreground to improve constrast.
