The color #1E5AA2, also known as Fun Blue, presents moderate accessibility challenges. Its contrast ratio against white text is approximately 4.6:1, which meets WCAG AA standards for normal text but falls short for larger text sizes (18pt or 14pt bold). For enhanced accessibility (WCAG AAA), a contrast ratio of 7:1 is recommended, suggesting that using pure white text (#FFFFFF) on a #1E5AA2 background may not be ideal for all users, particularly those with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of blue for the background or darker text colors for better contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate and adjust color combinations for optimal readability and inclusivity. It's crucial to test color choices with different user groups to ensure they meet diverse accessibility needs.
