The hex color #1e28c7, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text on a white background. Its luminance value is relatively low, which means that the contrast ratio might not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Therefore, when using #1e28c7 for text, it is crucial to pair it with a very light background to achieve sufficient contrast. Alternatively, using it for larger text elements or decorative elements where readability is not critical can be acceptable. Consider using accessibility evaluation tools to verify the contrast ratio and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, providing a more inclusive user experience. Always test color combinations with real users, including those with visual impairments, to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.
