The hex color #2C435C, also known as Pickled Bluewood, presents some accessibility considerations for web development. Its relatively dark hue results in a low contrast ratio against a standard white background, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. To ensure inclusivity, it's crucial to pair this color with a light text color, such as white or a very pale shade of yellow, to achieve sufficient contrast as defined by WCAG guidelines. Conversely, if #2C435C is used as a text color, a very light background is necessary.
