The color #183745, a deep desaturated teal, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning text legibility. When used as a background color, it requires careful selection of foreground text colors to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. White or very light shades of yellow or green would likely work well as foreground colors. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if a color combination meets accessibility standards. Avoid using dark or similarly muted colors as foreground text on this background, as the low contrast will make it difficult for users, especially those with visual impairments, to read the content. Also consider providing alternative styling options for users who need them.
