The color #244413, a deep shade of green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially in text-based contexts. Its low luminance value of approximately 0.031 makes it difficult to read when placed against a dark background, and contrast is poor. According to WCAG guidelines, this color fails the contrast ratio test against black text (1:1), meaning content would be illegible for users with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, using this color for text requires a very light background. A lighter background will bring the contrast ratio to 4.5:1 or higher, which meets WCAG AA standards. Avoid using this color for critical information or interactive elements without careful consideration of the contrast with the surrounding colors. Large text could benefit from being paired with a lighter color scheme.
