The hex color #1657C0, also known as Denim, presents some accessibility considerations, particularly regarding color contrast. When used as a background color, it necessitates light-colored text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. 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. It's crucial to test color combinations using online contrast checkers to verify compliance. For individuals with visual impairments, including color blindness, relying solely on color to convey information is not advisable. Instead, supplement color with other visual cues, such as text labels, icons, or patterns, to ensure inclusivity. When designing interactive elements like buttons or links, the color should be paired with clear indicators such as underlines or borders. A focus state indication that provides sufficient contrast against the background is also essential.
