The hex color #285457, also known as Spectra, presents moderate accessibility challenges. Its contrast ratio against white is approximately 3.7:1, which is below the WCAG's minimum recommendation of 4.5:1 for normal text. Therefore, using #285457 for text on a white background is not ideal for users with low vision. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter background color or a darker text color. When used for larger text elements (18pt or 14pt bold), the contrast ratio meets the WCAG AA standard but still falls short of the AAA standard. For graphical elements and user interface components, a contrast ratio of 3:1 is required, and #285457 performs adequately in these instances. Ensure sufficient contrast for all users by testing with accessibility tools.
