The hex color #2e56a8 presents certain accessibility considerations for web developers. Its contrast ratio with white text is reasonable, potentially meeting WCAG AA standards for normal text but might fall short for larger text or UI components. When used with black text, the contrast is significantly lower, likely failing accessibility guidelines.

Additionally, avoid using color as the sole means of conveying information; supplement color cues with text or other visual indicators. Consider using accessibility analysis tools to check contrast ratios and simulate the appearance of the color scheme for users with different types of color blindness.
