According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Given its darkness, careful consideration must be given to the choice of foreground color to meet these standards. Using online contrast checkers can help in determining if the color combination is accessible. Additionally, avoid using this color for elements that convey important information solely through color, as users with color vision deficiencies may not be able to distinguish them. Ensure alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, are provided to complement the color.
