The color #1D39AD, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly regarding color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (ideally white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG guidelines for Level AA compliance. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using a color contrast checker is crucial to verify compliance. As a text color, #1D39AD should be used sparingly, primarily for decorative elements or headings, due to its dark nature. Ensure that interactive elements using this color, such as links or buttons, have clear visual cues beyond just color to distinguish them from the surrounding text. The use of borders, underlines, or icons can improve usability for users with visual impairments. Careful consideration of the surrounding colors is essential to ensure an accessible design.
