The hex color #23189c presents accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. When used as a background, it necessitates light-colored text for readability, ensuring a contrast ratio that meets WCAG guidelines (ideally 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text). Conversely, if used for text, a light background is essential. Avoid pairing this color with other dark shades, as this further reduces contrast and makes content difficult to perceive, especially for users with visual impairments. Careful consideration of color combinations is crucial to ensure inclusivity and optimal user experience. Consider using color contrast checking tools to validate the accessibility of your design choices.
