The color #265107, also known as Green House, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value of approximately 4.2% makes it difficult to read text rendered in this color against a white background. According to WCAG guidelines, this color fails the contrast ratio test for normal text (4.5:1) and large text (3:1). To improve accessibility, it's recommended to pair this color with a much lighter color for text or interactive elements. Consider using a lighter shade of green or a neutral color like white or light gray to ensure sufficient contrast. Additionally, avoid using this color alone to convey important information; always provide supplementary cues like text labels or icons to accommodate users with visual impairments.
