Due to its dark nature, it's essential to ensure adequate contrast when using it with text or other foreground elements.

The color #303050, also known as Martinique, presents certain accessibility challenges. Its relatively low luminance value of 0.047 means it has poor contrast against white text, failing WCAG's AA and AAA standards for normal text. To ensure readability, it's crucial to use this color with lighter backgrounds. Text using #303050 should be paired with a background color that provides a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using tools to check color contrast is highly recommended before implementing this color in user interfaces. Consider using this color sparingly for decorative elements rather than essential text or interactive components, or pair it with lighter text and backgrounds for improved accessibility.
