Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the chosen color combination meets accessibility standards. Also, avoid using this color for crucial interactive elements without proper testing, as users with visual impairments may struggle to identify them. Consider providing alternative high-contrast themes to accommodate users with different visual needs, in order to comply with ADA and other accessibility guidelines.
