The color #2E15D1, a deep shade of blue, presents several accessibility considerations for web developers. Its relatively low luminance (brightness) requires careful pairing with text and other elements to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text against its background. When using #2E15D1 as a background, light colors like white or yellow would provide better readability. Conversely, using dark text colors will result in poor contrast and should be avoided. Employing contrast checking tools during the design phase is crucial for verifying compliance and ensuring content is accessible to users with visual impairments. Additionally, providing alternative visual cues, like underlines or icons, can help users distinguish links or interactive elements that use this color.
