The hex color #1C22AE, a deep and vibrant blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when it comes to text and background contrast. When using this color for text, it is crucial to pair it with a light background to ensure readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text, and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines. Conversely, when used as a background, consider employing white or very light-colored text for optimal contrast. Tools are available online to calculate contrast ratios, allowing developers to test color combinations for accessibility compliance. Insufficient contrast can create difficulties for users with visual impairments, color blindness, or those simply viewing the content on a screen with poor display quality. Therefore, careful consideration must be given to color pairings to make websites and applications inclusive and user-friendly for everyone.
