The color #1461D2, also known as Denim, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its relatively low lightness value (approximately 0.3) means that text rendered in this color against a white background may not provide sufficient contrast for comfortable reading. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. This color may fall short of these recommendations, potentially causing eye strain or making the content illegible for some users. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter text color when placing text on a Denim background, or a darker background when using Denim as a text color. Tools are available online to check color contrast ratios and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, such as WCAG.
