The hex color #2C44BA, also known as Governor Bay, presents some accessibility challenges, primarily due to its relatively low luminance. When used as text on a white background, the contrast ratio might not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal-sized text (AA compliance). This means users with moderate visual impairments may find it difficult to read. To improve accessibility, consider using this color for larger text sizes (18pt or 14pt bold) or pairing it with a lighter background color to increase contrast. Alternatively, using it for decorative elements or as a background color with lighter text can be effective. Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. Remember that color perception varies, and providing alternative cues (e.g., underlines for links) is beneficial.
