The hex color #153549 presents specific accessibility considerations for web developers. Its dark hue means it requires careful pairing with lighter text or foreground elements to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA standards. Using a color contrast checker is essential to verify compliance. When using #153549 as a background, avoid pairing it with similarly dark colors for text, as this can render content unreadable for users with visual impairments. Providing alternative high-contrast themes is also a good practice. Furthermore, ensure that any interactive elements using this color have clear visual cues on hover or focus to aid users who navigate with keyboards or assistive technologies. Semantic HTML and ARIA attributes can further enhance accessibility.
