The hex color #193E3A, also known as Te Papa Green, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text on a white background. Its relatively low luminance value of 0.12 makes it difficult to read for individuals with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Te Papa Green falls short of these recommendations when paired with standard white (#FFFFFF). To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of green or pairing it with a much lighter background color to achieve an acceptable contrast ratio. Tools like contrast checkers can assist in evaluating and optimizing color combinations for better readability and inclusivity. Alternatively, using it for graphical elements rather than essential text can mitigate some accessibility concerns. Careful consideration of color choices is vital in ensuring a positive user experience for all users, including those with disabilities.
