The color #1D577E, also known as Blumine, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background color for text. Its relatively low luminance can result in insufficient contrast with light-colored text, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using #1D577E, careful consideration should be given to the text color to ensure adequate contrast. Light shades of yellow, white, or pale green can potentially provide better readability. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if a specific color combination meets accessibility standards. It's crucial to test the color combination with real users, including those with visual impairments, to validate its accessibility. Also, avoid using this color for essential UI elements without proper contrast.
