The hex color #264972, also known as San Juan, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly in text-based applications. Its relatively low luminance value of approximately 0.15 makes it difficult to achieve sufficient contrast against lighter backgrounds, potentially violating WCAG guidelines for text readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using #264972 for text, it's crucial to pair it with very light colors like #FFFFFF (white) or #F0F0F0 (light gray) to ensure that individuals with visual impairments can easily read the content. For interactive elements, ensure sufficient color contrast between the element and its surrounding content and between different states (e.g., hover, focus). Also, consider providing alternative visual cues like borders or icons to reinforce meaning and usability.
