The color #29252A, also known as Shark, presents some accessibility challenges due to its low contrast against lighter backgrounds. Web developers should carefully consider text and interactive element legibility when using this color. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet WCAG AA standards. To improve accessibility, use lighter text colors such as white or very light grays. Avoid pairing it with similarly dark colors, as this further reduces contrast.

Thoughtful color choices enhance the user experience and promote inclusivity.
