The hex color #1C26AE, also known as Torea Bay, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used for text. Its low luminance can make it difficult to read against a white or light background. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast between text and background is crucial for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using a color contrast checker, one can see that #1C26AE may not meet these recommendations against typical light backgrounds. Therefore, when employing this color for text, it's essential to pair it with a very light foreground color to ensure adequate contrast. Alternatively, consider using it for larger graphical elements or as an accent color where text legibility is not critical. Remember to always test color combinations for accessibility to ensure an inclusive design.
