The hex color #213969, also known as Biscay, presents some accessibility considerations for web design. When used as a background color, sufficient contrast with foreground text is crucial 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. Given its dark nature, #213969 ideally needs to be paired with light-colored text (e.g., whites or very light shades of yellows or greens) to meet these standards. Tools like contrast checkers can help ensure compliance. When used for interactive elements like buttons or links, consider providing visual cues beyond just color to aid users with color vision deficiencies. Furthermore, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as this can exclude users who are colorblind. Semantic HTML and ARIA attributes can also enhance accessibility by providing additional context for assistive technologies.
