The hex color #225AB4, also known as Fun Blue, presents some accessibility considerations for web developers. Its relatively low lightness value may lead to insufficient contrast when used as text on a white background or vice versa. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the color's contrast against the background color. Tools such as contrast checkers can be used to measure the contrast ratio and determine if adjustments are necessary. If the contrast is insufficient, consider using a lighter shade of blue or a darker background color to improve readability and accessibility. Additionally, provide alternative text descriptions for images or other visual elements that rely solely on color to convey information.
