The hex color #202A0A, a deep forest green, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in text applications. Its low luminance of 3.2 cd/m² results in a poor contrast ratio against standard white backgrounds. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is required for normal text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. This dark green fails to meet these standards, potentially causing eye strain and making content difficult to perceive. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter text colors such as white or very light grey on this background, or lightening the green significantly to meet contrast ratio requirements. Also, avoid using it for crucial interactive elements unless accompanied by clear visual cues and sufficient contrast.
