The color #225C76, a deep bluish-green hue, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its relatively low lightness value. When used as a background color, it necessitates careful consideration of text color choices to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. Using light text colors like white (#FFFFFF) or very light grays can help achieve this contrast. For elements like buttons or links, hover and focus states must also maintain adequate contrast. Additionally, avoid using this color for elements that rely solely on color to convey meaning, as users with color vision deficiencies may struggle to distinguish them. Providing alternative visual cues, such as text labels or icons, enhances usability for all users. Thorough testing with accessibility tools is essential to validate compliance and ensure an inclusive user experience.
