The hex color #1B1D99, also known as Jackson's Purple, presents certain accessibility challenges, especially in web design. Its dark hue means that text or elements using this color as a background require very light text to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA standards. Testing with accessibility tools is crucial to confirm compliance. When used for interactive elements like buttons or links, consider providing clear visual cues, such as hover effects or underlines, to enhance usability for users with visual impairments. Additionally, avoid using this color as the sole indicator of functionality, and always provide alternative cues like text labels or icons.
