The hex color #152AC1, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text (4.5:1 contrast ratio) and large text (3:1 contrast ratio). Conversely, using #152AC1 as a text color necessitates a very light background. It's crucial to avoid pairing this dark blue with mid-tone or dark colors, as this can lead to poor legibility and a negative user experience, especially for individuals with visual impairments. Careful consideration should be given to color combinations, and tools for checking color contrast ratios should be employed during the design process.
