The color #212928, also known as Shark, presents some accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. When used as a background color, it requires very light text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text, and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular). Insufficient contrast can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the content. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance with WCAG guidelines. Also consider providing alternative color schemes for users who prefer higher contrast or have specific visual needs. Careful attention to text and interactive element contrast is crucial to ensure an inclusive user experience with this color.
