The color #2C547D, also known as Chambray, presents some accessibility considerations, especially in web design. Its relatively low luminance value means that careful attention must be paid to color contrast. When used as a background color, it necessitates light-colored text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, adhering to WCAG guidelines. Conversely, when used as text, a darker background would be required. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text to meet accessibility standards. Tools are available to check color contrast ratios to ensure compliance. Additionally, avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as users with color vision deficiencies may not be able to distinguish it effectively. Providing alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, can enhance accessibility for all users.
