Its low luminance contrast against white backgrounds makes text difficult to read, violating WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for minimum contrast ratios. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter text colors on this dark blue background or, conversely, pairing it with darker backgrounds and light-colored text. Providing sufficient contrast ensures readability for individuals with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments. Using tools to check color contrast ratios during design is crucial for inclusive design practices. Also, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information; use labels, icons, and text descriptions to reinforce meaning and ensure accessibility for all users.
