The color #222590, a deep shade of purple, presents several accessibility considerations, especially for web design. Its low lightness value (around 14%) means that it requires careful attention to contrast ratios when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. This color may not meet these ratios when paired with darker shades, making content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, consider using it with light backgrounds like white (#FFFFFF) or very pale yellows (#FFFFE0). Tools like WebAIM's Contrast Checker can help verify that the color combinations meet accessibility standards. Also, providing alternative text or visual cues can help users who may not perceive the color accurately.
