The accessibility of #1D30B9 (Persian Blue) needs careful consideration in web design. Its relatively low luminance value (compared to pure white) means that text using this color as a background requires high-contrast text (e.g., white or very light shades) to ensure readability, especially for users with visual impairments. 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. Using a contrast checker tool is essential to confirm compliance. Avoid pairing Persian Blue with dark or similarly saturated colors, as this can reduce legibility and user experience. Consider using this color primarily for decorative elements or as an accent, rather than as the primary background for extensive text blocks. Always test color combinations with accessibility in mind.
