When using this color for text or interactive elements, it is crucial to ensure sufficient contrast against the background. 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.

Remember that color should not be the only means of conveying information.
