The color #213B1D, a deep, muted green, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low lightness value (approximately 14%) means that text rendered in this color requires careful consideration of contrast ratios. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is needed for normal text and 3:1 for large text against its background to meet AA compliance. For AAA compliance, these ratios increase to 7:1 and 4.5:1, respectively. Using #213B1D as a foreground color necessitates a very light background to ensure readability for users, especially those with visual impairments. Tools like contrast checkers are essential to verify compliance. Also, avoid using this color to convey important information without supplementary cues, as colorblind users may not be able to distinguish it properly. Consider providing alternative visual or textual cues to enhance accessibility.
