The color #2D4587, also known as Chambray, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a text color on a white background. Its relatively low luminance contrast ratio makes it difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA standards. Chambray falls short of these requirements, potentially causing eye strain and reduced readability. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter text color on a Chambray background or a darker background color with Chambray text. It's also recommended to avoid using this color for essential interface elements or actionable items without careful consideration of contrast. Testing with accessibility evaluation tools is crucial to ensure compliance and inclusivity.
