The hex color #2A33BC, also known as Governor Bay, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly regarding color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (ideally white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. It's crucial to avoid pairing this color with mid-tone or dark text colors, as this will render the text difficult or impossible for users with visual impairments to read. Consider using color contrast checkers to verify the accessibility of color combinations. Additionally, relying solely on color to convey important information should be avoided; supplementary cues like text labels or icons are essential for accessibility. When using this color in UI elements like buttons, be mindful of providing clear visual cues for interactive states (hover, focus, active) that are perceivable to all users.
