The accessibility of #1D43C9 (Persian Blue) should be carefully considered, especially in contexts involving text or crucial UI elements. Its relatively low lightness value (approximately 24%) means it offers insufficient contrast against white backgrounds, failing WCAG AA and AAA standards for normal text. To ensure readability and usability, pair it with lighter text colors such as white or very light grays, or use it for larger text elements where contrast requirements are less stringent. When used as a background, consider very light shades for foreground elements. In interactive components, adequate contrast is critical for users with visual impairments to perceive states and actions. Providing sufficient contrast isn't just about compliance; it ensures a better experience for all users, irrespective of their visual abilities. Also consider that colorblind users may perceive Persian Blue differently, so avoid relying solely on color to convey important information.
