The color #1B4D3E, also known as Te Papa Green, presents some accessibility considerations for web development. Its relatively low lightness value means that it requires careful attention to contrast ratios, especially when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast between foreground and background colors is crucial for users with visual impairments. Using this color as a background necessitates pairing it with a very light foreground color, such as white or a pale yellow, to ensure readability. Conversely, using it as a text color demands a very light background. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify that the chosen color combinations meet the minimum contrast ratios specified in WCAG 2.1. Avoid combining it with other dark colors as this will severely limit the readability of the design for many users. Proper contrast improves the user experience for all, especially those with low vision or color deficiencies.
