Due to its relatively low lightness value, it requires careful consideration of color contrast to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast between text and background is crucial for accessibility. To meet these guidelines, it is advisable to use a light-colored text on a #2e09cd background. Conversely, if #2e09cd is used for text, a very light background is needed.

Ignoring contrast can exclude users, hindering them from accessing the information effectively. Consider using color combinations that enhance visibility and legibility.
