The color #231C7C, also known as Deep Koamaru, presents several accessibility considerations for web development. Its dark hue results in a low luminance value, which means it requires careful attention to contrast ratios, especially when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) against its background. When using #231C7C as a background color, it's crucial to select a light foreground color, such as white or a very pale yellow, to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Conversely, if #231C7C is used as a text color, a very light background is necessary. Avoid pairing it with mid-tone colors, as this will likely result in insufficient contrast. It's also good practice to provide alternative styling options for users who might need them, such as a high-contrast mode.
