Its dark hue results in low contrast against standard white backgrounds, potentially making text or interface elements difficult to read for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for ensuring readability and usability.

Providing alternative visual cues, such as icons or text labels, can enhance accessibility for all users.
