The color #294692, also known as Chambray, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as text against a white background, it may not meet the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast ratio, potentially making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read. To improve accessibility, consider pairing it with lighter shades of yellow or white to ensure sufficient contrast. If used as a background, opt for text colors that are significantly lighter, such as white or light gray. Additionally, avoid using this color alone to convey important information; instead, supplement it with text labels or icons. Using tools to check color contrast ratios can help ensure compliance with accessibility standards, creating a more inclusive user experience.
