The color #2A4FAC, also known as Sapphire, presents several accessibility considerations for web development. When used as a background color, it requires careful selection of foreground text colors to ensure sufficient contrast. 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. Lighter colors like whites, creams, or light yellows are generally recommended as foreground colors to meet these contrast requirements.

Providing alternative text descriptions for images and using ARIA attributes can further enhance accessibility when this color is incorporated into designs.
