The hex color #2C48FC, a vibrant Royal Blue, presents considerable accessibility challenges. Its strong luminance contrast against white text is insufficient, failing WCAG standards for readability. Consequently, using white text on a #2C48FC background makes it difficult for individuals with low vision or color blindness to read the content comfortably. To enhance accessibility, it's advisable to pair this color with lighter shades such as whites, creams, or very light yellows for backgrounds or utilize darker text colors such as black, very dark grays, or even dark browns against #2C48FC when used as a background. A minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text is recommended to ensure compliance with accessibility guidelines. Furthermore, avoid using #2C48FC as the sole indicator for interactive elements; supplement it with labels, borders, or icons to ensure all users can understand the interface.
