The color #2F53E9, also known as Royal Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to pair it with text that is sufficiently light to ensure readability. White or very light shades of yellow would be suitable choices.

Adhering to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards is crucial; aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Tools are available online to check color contrast ratios, helping developers make informed decisions. Also, avoid using color alone to convey important information; supplement with text or icons.
