The hex color #252E73, also known as Astronaut, presents specific accessibility challenges, primarily due to its dark hue. When used as a background color, it necessitates very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. Given its darkness, #252E73 may struggle to meet these ratios with darker text options. Therefore, careful consideration and testing with accessibility tools are crucial to guarantee readability for users with visual impairments. Using a lighter tint or shade of this color can improve accessibility. Also, providing alternative color schemes is beneficial.
