The hex color #2342c4, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning text legibility. Due to its relatively low luminance, using it as a background color for text can result in insufficient contrast, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably.

When pairing #2342c4 with text, it's crucial to choose a light-colored text, such as white (#ffffff), to ensure adequate contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the combination meets accessibility standards. When used for interactive elements, ensure sufficient visual cues beyond color alone are provided for users who might have color vision deficiencies.
