The hex color #1C31A4, also known as Torea Bay, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a background or text color. Its relatively low lightness value results in a low contrast ratio against standard white backgrounds. This can make text difficult to read for users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness. Web developers should carefully consider the foreground color choice when using #1C31A4. A light or bright color, such as a pale yellow or a vibrant white, would improve readability and meet accessibility standards like WCAG. Tools that assess color contrast ratios are recommended to ensure compliance. For instance, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is suggested for normal text and 3:1 for large text against the background color. When using this color for interactive elements, consider providing alternative visual cues, such as borders or icons, to enhance usability for all users.
