The color #1C557C, also known as Blumine, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its relatively low luminance. When used as a background color, text needs to be carefully selected to ensure sufficient contrast. A light text color such as #FFFFFF (white) or a very light grey is recommended to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) requirements for contrast ratios. Using a color contrast checker is crucial to verifying that the combination of #1C557C and a chosen text color meets the AA or AAA standards. For users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, adequate contrast is essential for readability and usability. Avoid pairing this color with darker shades as it can make content difficult to perceive. Consider providing alternative high-contrast themes for enhanced accessibility.
