The hex color #2A1CAE, also known as Governor Bay, presents some accessibility challenges due to its dark hue. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA compliance. Using a color contrast checker is essential to verify compliance. Conversely, as a text color on a white or light background, readability may still be a concern for users with low vision. Employing larger font sizes or adding text shadows/outlines can improve legibility. Avoid using this color for critical information or interactive elements without careful consideration of contrast. Providing alternative color schemes is beneficial for users with visual impairments.
