The color #265772, a deep teal, presents some accessibility challenges. Its relatively low lightness value means that text rendered in this color requires careful consideration of contrast ratios. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for users with visual impairments. For normal-sized text (smaller than 18pt or 14pt bold), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against the background is recommended. For larger text, a ratio of 3:1 is acceptable. When using #265772 for text, ensure that the background color is significantly lighter to meet these contrast requirements. White or very pale shades of yellow, orange, or green can often provide sufficient contrast. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can be invaluable for verifying compliance. If sufficient contrast cannot be achieved, consider using a lighter shade of teal or a completely different color altogether to ensure readability for all users. Also avoid using this color for important actionable elements, since users might not see them due to the low contrast.
