The hex color #15483E, also known as Te Papa Green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background color for text. Its relatively low luminance value means that text rendered in black or other dark colors will likely have insufficient contrast, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read. To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to use a light-colored text such as white or a very pale yellow. Tools like contrast checkers (available online) can help determine if the contrast ratio between the text and background meets WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. Aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Considering the color vision deficiency is also important, simulate different types of color blindness to check the readability for all users.
