The hex color #24239A, also known as Jackson's Purple, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of approximately 4 means that text rendered in this color against a white background, or vice versa, will likely fail WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio requirements for Level AA and AAA compliance. Specifically, the contrast ratio falls far short of the required 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter shades of purple or pairing this deep purple with much lighter colors for text and interactive elements. Alternatively, use this color sparingly for decorative elements where legibility is not crucial. Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to ensure sufficient contrast and readability for all users, including those with low vision or color blindness. Providing alternative text descriptions for images using this color is also crucial.
