The hex color #212579, also known as Deep Koamaru, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning text and interactive elements. Its low luminance value necessitates careful consideration of color contrast ratios. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with a light foreground color, such as white or a very pale yellow, to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Failing to meet these ratios can make content difficult to perceive for users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness. Moreover, when using this color for interactive elements like buttons or links, it's essential to provide additional visual cues beyond color alone to ensure usability for all users. This might include using underlines, borders, or icons to clearly indicate interactive elements.
