The color #2D1ACC, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with a light text color to ensure readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. Using a color contrast checker tool can help verify that the chosen text color provides sufficient contrast. For individuals with visual impairments, including color blindness, relying solely on color to convey information can be problematic. Therefore, consider incorporating additional cues, such as text labels, icons, or patterns, to ensure that the content is accessible to all users. When using #2D1ACC for interactive elements, ensure that the color change on hover or focus provides enough visual distinction to be noticeable.
