The color #1A2D51, also known as Cloud Burst, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text against a white background. Its low luminance results in a poor contrast ratio, potentially failing WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text. To improve accessibility, consider using it for larger text sizes, where contrast requirements are less stringent, or pairing it with a much lighter background color to meet a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. For interactive elements, ensure sufficient color contrast for focus indicators. Additionally, avoid using color as the sole means of conveying information; supplement with text labels or icons for users with visual impairments. Providing alternative high-contrast themes can significantly enhance the user experience for individuals with visual sensitivities.
