The color #2E37EA, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text on a white background. Its contrast ratio falls below the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) recommendations for normal text, meaning that users with visual impairments may find it difficult to read.
