When used as text against a white background, the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. A lighter text color, such as a shade of white or off-white, would improve contrast and ensure better readability. Similarly, when used as a background color, consider using a lighter text color to meet accessibility standards. Ensuring sufficient contrast is crucial for users with low vision or color blindness. The color should not be the sole method for conveying important information; instead, supplementary cues such as text labels or icons should be used. Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to verify compliance with WCAG guidelines to accommodate all users.
