The hex color #203050, also known as Cloud Burst, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its dark nature. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light text (ideally white or a very pale shade of yellow or green) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. It's crucial to test the color combination with accessibility tools to verify compliance. Using #203050 for text on a white or light background is strongly discouraged as the contrast would be far too low, making it difficult for users, especially those with visual impairments, to read the content. Consider alternatives or strategic color pairings to maintain accessibility standards and provide a positive user experience. Careful consideration of text size and weight can also slightly mitigate contrast issues, but should not be relied upon as a primary solution.
