The hex color #182F83, also known as Bay of Many, presents some accessibility challenges primarily due to its dark nature. When using this color for text, it is crucial to ensure sufficient contrast with the background to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards.

Conversely, if #182F83 is used as a background, avoid using dark text colors. Also, be aware that individuals with low vision might struggle with subtle color differences, so avoid relying solely on color to convey information. Providing supplementary cues such as text labels or icons alongside the color can significantly improve accessibility. Considering the needs of users with color vision deficiencies is also paramount; therefore, ensure that color is not the only means of communicating essential information.
