For text, it's crucial to use a dark background, such as black or a deep gray, to ensure readability. White text on a #1ABCAD background can also work well, but it's important to test the contrast ratio to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text. Using color contrast analyzers can help verify compliance. Avoid using #1ABCAD for essential visual elements like links or buttons without sufficient contrast, as this can hinder usability for users with visual impairments. Also, always provide alternative cues besides color to convey information, such as text labels or icons, to cater to individuals who are color blind.
