The color #1d28c9, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges. Its relatively low luminance can make it difficult to read when used as text on a white background. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet Level AA compliance. Using this color for text might require a lighter background or a bolder font to ensure readability. For decorative elements, the contrast requirements are lower, but it's still important to consider users with visual impairments. Using color contrast tools can help web developers to test and adjust color combinations for optimal accessibility. A light shade of yellow, orange or green color on the background can increase the readability with the Persian Blue text.
