The color #1E4D7A, also known as Chathams Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as text on a white background. Its relatively low lightness value results in a contrast ratio that may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for text and interactive elements. For instance, small text may not be legible for users with moderate visual impairments. To enhance accessibility, consider using #1E4D7A for larger text sizes or graphical elements where contrast requirements are less stringent. Pairing it with significantly lighter colors, such as shades of white or pale yellows, will improve readability. Additionally, provide alternative cues like icons or descriptive text alongside color-coded elements to ensure usability for all users, including those with color vision deficiencies. Thoroughly testing color combinations with accessibility tools is recommended to guarantee compliance with accessibility standards.
