The color #183324, also known as Celtic, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value means that text rendered in this color against a white background may not provide sufficient contrast, making it difficult to read. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. This color likely falls short of these recommendations, necessitating careful consideration of foreground and background color combinations. To improve accessibility, it is advisable to pair Celtic with much lighter colors, such as off-whites or light yellows, to ensure sufficient contrast. Additionally, providing alternative text descriptions for images and using ARIA attributes can further enhance accessibility for users with disabilities. Testing with assistive technologies is crucial to validate the actual user experience.
