Due to its relatively low luminance, it can be difficult for users with visual impairments to read text displayed on it. It is crucial to ensure sufficient contrast between the text color and the background. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as specified by WCAG guidelines. Using online contrast checkers is advisable to verify compliance.
