The hex color #182159, also known as Bunting, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a background color for text. Its dark nature requires careful consideration of foreground text colors to ensure sufficient contrast. 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 to meet AA compliance. For AAA compliance, these ratios increase to 7:1 and 4.5:1, respectively. When using #182159, pairing it with light colors like white (#FFFFFF) or very light shades of yellow or gray is crucial. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the color combination meets accessibility standards. Avoid using darker shades or colors with similar luminance values, as they can make the text illegible for users, especially those with visual impairments.
