Due to its relatively low luminance, it may not provide sufficient contrast with lighter text colors, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text to comply with WCAG guidelines. To improve accessibility, consider pairing this color with very light shades such as white or very pale yellow for text. Alternatively, use it for larger design elements where contrast requirements are less stringent. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate color pairings and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, promoting a more inclusive user experience. Also consider the color blindness. Some colorblind users may struggle to differentiate between #2E566B and similar darker shades.
