The hex color #214E09, also known as Green House, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its low luminance. When used as a background color, text overlaid on it needs to be of a light hue to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This dark green shade might not meet these requirements with darker text colors. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter shades of green or pairing it with a very light text color like white or a pale yellow. Also, avoid using this color for interactive elements without a clear visual indicator, as users with visual impairments may struggle to identify them. Providing alternative visual cues, such as underlines or borders, can further enhance accessibility.
