The color #224292, also known as Bay of Many, presents some accessibility challenges. Its dark hue means it requires light text on a dark background to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using this color for text might not meet these standards against a white or light background.

Additionally, consider users with visual impairments who may struggle to differentiate between similar dark shades. Providing alternative color schemes and allowing users to customize colors can significantly improve accessibility. Careful consideration of color contrast is crucial for ensuring inclusive design practices.
