The color #1C4E10, a dark shade of green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as text against a white background. Its low luminance can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably. According to WCAG guidelines, contrast ratios are crucial for ensuring readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This particular green shade may not meet these ratios with lighter backgrounds. To improve accessibility, consider pairing it with much lighter colors that provide sufficient contrast. Alternatively, using this color for larger graphical elements rather than fine text can mitigate some accessibility concerns. Providing alternative text descriptions for images using this color is also beneficial. Additionally, avoid using this color alone to convey important information; always supplement it with text or other visual cues.
