Hex color codes are commonly used in web design and graphic design to precisely specify colors for digital media.

The specific combination of red, green, and blue values determines the unique hue and intensity of the color.

The color #234578, also known as Astronaut, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as text against a white background, the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Therefore, it's crucial to pair Astronaut with a lighter background or use it for decorative elements rather than essential text. When employed as a background color, ensuring that any foreground text or elements are sufficiently light is equally important. Testing with accessibility tools and considering user feedback is vital to ensure inclusive design practices are followed when using this color in web development.
