The hex color #181E3A, also known as Big Stone, presents some accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light 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. Using #181E3A might require careful selection of text colors to meet these standards, especially for users with low vision or color blindness. It's crucial to test color combinations using accessibility tools to verify compliance and provide an inclusive user experience. Considering alternative, lighter shades for backgrounds or employing contrasting design elements can significantly improve accessibility. Avoid using #181E3A for critical information where legibility is paramount without adequate contrast.
