Its dark hue results in a low luminance value, which necessitates careful selection of foreground text colors to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text against the background color. Using light text colors such as white (#FFFFFF) or light gray (#D3D3D3) can help achieve the desired contrast ratio. Also, avoid using this color for interactive elements, or provide alternative visual cues, like borders, to distinguish them. When used for links, ensure they are clearly identifiable, possibly with an underline or a contrasting color change on hover or focus. Moreover, consider users with color vision deficiencies. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate color combinations for accessibility compliance, ensuring a more inclusive user experience.
