The color #254B0C, also known as Green House, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value of approximately 0.04 means that it requires a very light text color to achieve sufficient contrast for readability, with a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher as recommended by WCAG guidelines. When used as a background, ensure foreground elements are significantly lighter. It should not be used for critical interface elements without thorough testing with assistive technologies. For those with color deficiencies, especially protanopia or deuteranopia, the perceived contrast might be further reduced, making careful consideration of color pairings essential. Employing tools that simulate color blindness can help determine if the color scheme remains accessible to a broader audience. Consider adding text shadows or borders to improve legibility.
