Due to its relatively low luminance, it may not provide sufficient contrast when used as text against a white or light-colored background. This can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the content. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines.

Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the color combination meets accessibility standards.
