The hex color #164138, also known as Te Papa Green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to ensure that the foreground text or elements have sufficient contrast to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Due to its dark nature, lighter colors like white, light yellow, or very pale greens are preferable for foreground elements. Using tools to test color contrast ratios is highly advisable to guarantee readability for users with visual impairments.

Incorporating alternative cues like text labels or icons can enhance accessibility.
