The hex color #28543C, also known as Plantation, presents some accessibility challenges, especially concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it necessitates light-colored text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Therefore, pairing #28543C with colors like white (#FFFFFF) or very light shades of yellow or beige would be advisable. Avoid using it with darker colors, as this could render the text illegible for users with visual impairments. When using this color for interactive elements like buttons or links, consider adding visual cues beyond color alone, such as underlines or icons, to ensure usability for color-blind users. Careful consideration of these factors will improve the overall accessibility of your design.
