The color #2C01E5, a deep and vibrant blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a foreground color on a white or light background. Its luminance value is relatively low, which means that the contrast ratio might not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for text legibility. For small text, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended, while for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular), a contrast ratio of 3:1 is required. When using #2C01E5 for text, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast by pairing it with a very light color, such as white or a pale yellow. For interactive elements like buttons or links, it's important to provide clear visual cues beyond color alone, such as underlines or icons, to ensure that users with color vision deficiencies can easily identify and interact with them. Furthermore, consider providing alternative color schemes that offer higher contrast options for users who require them.
