Its low lightness value results in a low contrast ratio against both black and white backgrounds, making it difficult to read text rendered in this color, especially for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability. To improve accessibility, it's recommended to use lighter text colors on this background or, conversely, use this color for larger text elements. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the combination meets accessibility standards. Also, avoid using this color as the sole means of conveying important information, as users may not be able to distinguish it effectively.
