The hex color #164285, also known as Bay of Many, presents some accessibility considerations for web design. Its dark hue yields a good contrast ratio when paired with lighter text or background colors, enhancing readability for users with visual impairments. However, it's crucial to avoid using it as a background for very light or desaturated text, as this can create insufficient contrast. Adhering to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio requirements (at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text) is essential. Using color contrast checking tools during the design process is highly recommended to ensure optimal accessibility. Consider users with color blindness when choosing complementary or accent colors to avoid combinations that might be difficult to distinguish. Thoughtful color choices contribute to a more inclusive and user-friendly web experience.
