The color #1336C3, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning contrast. When used as a foreground color for text, it requires careful pairing with a background color that offers sufficient contrast to meet WCAG guidelines. A light background is highly recommended to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Conversely, if Persian Blue is used as a background color, a light-colored text should be applied.
