The hex color #2908de, a dark blue, presents several accessibility considerations for web development. Its contrast ratio with white text is relatively low, potentially failing WCAG guidelines for normal text sizes. To ensure readability, consider using lighter shades of blue or contrasting it with very light colors like white or off-white. For larger text, the contrast is more forgiving, but still warrants careful consideration. Providing sufficient contrast ensures that users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, can perceive the content effectively.

Supplement color cues with text labels or icons to provide redundancy and enhance accessibility for all users.
