Its relatively low luminance can pose challenges for users with visual impairments. When using this color for text, it's crucial to ensure a high contrast ratio with the background color, ideally meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) AA or AAA standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using online contrast checkers can help verify compliance.
