The color #1E218C, also known as Jackson's Purple, presents some accessibility challenges primarily due to its dark hue. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (ideally white or a very pale shade) to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text. Using a color like #1E218C for text on a white background would result in very poor readability. Consider using a contrast checker tool to verify the contrast ratio between #1E218C and any text or other foreground elements. Furthermore, avoid using this color as the sole indicator of interactive elements such as links or buttons, as users with color vision deficiencies may not be able to distinguish them. Always provide secondary visual cues, like underlines or borders, to improve accessibility.
