The color #1B14B6, also known as Torea Bay, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in text-based contexts. Its low lightness value (approximately 10%) means that it requires very light text (white or near-white) to achieve sufficient contrast for readability, adhering to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using this color for backgrounds or elements with interactive components demands careful consideration of color pairings. Ensure interactive elements like buttons or links have clear visual cues beyond color alone. Providing alternative styling options, such as high-contrast themes, can greatly improve usability for users with visual impairments. Thorough testing with accessibility evaluation tools is essential to validate compliance.
