The color #1E6021, also known as Parsley, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its relatively low luminance value of 0.11 makes it difficult to achieve sufficient contrast against both white and black backgrounds. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. When paired with a white background, #1E6021 yields a contrast ratio of approximately 4.7:1, which barely meets the minimum requirement for standard text. However, against a black background, the contrast ratio is only 1:4.7, which is inadequate. Therefore, it's crucial to carefully consider the background color and text size when using #1E6021 to ensure readability and accessibility for all users. Using a lighter shade of green or pairing it with a contrasting color for text is highly recommended.
