When used as text against a white background, it may not meet the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) requirements for contrast ratio, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is generally recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Therefore, when using Zeus for text, it's essential to pair it with a light background or use a lighter color for the text on a dark background to ensure sufficient contrast. For interactive elements like buttons, ensure that the color difference provides enough visual cues for users to understand the interactive state. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can assist in evaluating and adjusting color combinations for optimal accessibility.
