The hex color #253FC1, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a foreground color for text, it requires a light background to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold/18pt regular or larger) to ensure usability for individuals with visual impairments. Using tools like contrast checkers is crucial to verify compliance. Conversely, as a background color, pairing it with white or very light shades of yellow or green can improve accessibility. Consider providing alternative styling options for users with specific needs, enhancing the inclusive design of digital content. Avoid combining it with dark shades of purple, blue, or black, as this makes readability difficult.
