The hex color #223136, also known as Charade, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly in text-based contexts. Its low luminance value of approximately 6.5% means that it offers insufficient contrast against a standard white background, potentially making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read text rendered in this color. To ensure optimal accessibility, it is recommended to use #223136 with lighter background colors or, conversely, pair it with very light text colors. Following WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is suggested for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Tools are readily available online to assess the contrast ratio between different color combinations. Careful consideration of color combinations is crucial for inclusive web design.
