The hex color #21409a, also known as Sapphire, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a foreground color against a white background. Its relatively low luminance means that the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for text legibility, especially for smaller text sizes. To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to pair this color with a light background or to use it for larger text elements where the contrast is more forgiving. Alternatively, consider using it for non-text elements like icons or decorative accents. When using Sapphire for interactive elements like buttons or links, provide clear visual cues to indicate their interactive state, such as a change in color or the addition of an underline, to enhance usability for users with visual impairments. Proper testing with accessibility tools is recommended to validate the color's compliance with accessibility standards.
