Its contrast ratio against a white background is approximately 3.6:1, which falls short of the WCAG's recommended 4.5:1 for normal text. This means that using #2E54A8 for body text on a white background may be difficult for users with low vision to read.

It's crucial to test color combinations using accessibility tools to confirm compliance with WCAG guidelines, ensuring an inclusive experience for all users. Consider using colorblindness simulators to check how the color appears to users with different types of color vision deficiencies.
