The color #1E3DAC, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as text on a white background, the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. It is crucial to ensure sufficient contrast by pairing it with a light color for text or a dark color for backgrounds to meet minimum contrast ratios. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can be employed to verify compliance. Beyond contrast, consider providing alternative cues for conveying information, such as icons or text labels, to ensure inclusivity for users who might perceive color differently or not at all. When using Persian Blue for interactive elements, like buttons, clearly indicate the interactive state through visual cues like changes in brightness, size, or shape upon hover or focus.
