The hex color #152B9F, also known as Torea Bay, presents distinct accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a foreground color, it necessitates a very light background to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. This color might not be suitable for extensive textual content, as prolonged reading against a light background can cause eye strain. Consider using it sparingly, perhaps for headings, accents, or graphical elements. Ensure thorough testing with accessibility evaluation tools to confirm compliance with contrast requirements. If the design requires a darker background, explore lighter color alternatives or consider adjusting the hue and saturation to improve legibility and overall user experience. Adequate color contrast is essential for users with visual impairments and enhances the overall accessibility of digital content.
