The hex color #252AA6, also known as Torea Bay, presents some accessibility considerations for web design. With its dark hue, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast when used as a background or text color. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Using a light color like white or a very pale yellow for text on a #252AA6 background can meet these contrast requirements. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Additionally, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as colorblind users may not be able to distinguish it effectively. Providing alternative visual cues, such as text labels or icons, can enhance accessibility.
