When used as a background color, it requires light-colored text to ensure readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines. Using a color contrast checker is essential to verify compliance. Also, consider users with visual impairments who may perceive colors differently. Avoid relying solely on color to convey information; use text labels or other visual cues. For interactive elements like buttons or links, provide clear visual feedback on hover or focus to enhance usability for all users. Adequate spacing around elements also ensures clarity. Testing with different color vision deficiency simulators is a good practice.
