The hex color #215476, also known as Chathams Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background color for text. Its relatively low lightness value means that text needs to be a light color, such as white or a very light gray, to ensure sufficient contrast. Using a color contrast checker is crucial to ensure that the contrast ratio meets WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, aiming for a minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using #215476, avoid pairing it with mid-tone colors, as the contrast will likely be insufficient for users with visual impairments. Careful consideration of color combinations and the use of accessibility testing tools will help ensure that your designs are inclusive and usable for all users.
