The hex color #1959FF, also known as Blue Ribbon, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with text that offers sufficient contrast to ensure readability 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. Given the relatively low luminance of #1959FF, lighter text colors like white or very light grays are advisable.

When using this color for interactive elements, ensure a clear visual distinction upon hover or focus to meet accessibility standards.
