The hex color #2B17B3, also known as Governor Bay, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when it comes to text and background contrast. Due to its dark nature, using it as a background color requires light-colored text for readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to comply with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) AA standards. Insufficient contrast can make content difficult or impossible to read for users with visual impairments. Therefore, careful consideration and testing with accessibility tools are essential when implementing this color in web design. Using it for small text or intricate graphics is generally discouraged unless paired with a very light foreground color. Always prioritize user experience and ensure content is accessible to everyone, regardless of their visual abilities.
