Its luminance is relatively low, resulting in a contrast ratio that might not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text. To ensure readability and accessibility, it's crucial to use this color with a sufficiently light background or to increase the text size. When paired with darker backgrounds, #1A61FE can provide better contrast and visibility. Consider using a color contrast checker to verify that the combination meets the minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to comply with WCAG AA standards. For enhanced accessibility, developers should provide alternative color schemes or options to adjust contrast settings, catering to users with visual impairments.
