Its relatively low luminance value of approximately 10% means that it needs to be paired with very light colors to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using #30384d for text on a background that isn't significantly lighter could result in readability issues, particularly for users with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter shades of gray, beige, or even pastel colors as backgrounds. Tools are available to calculate contrast ratios to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Non-text elements such as icons should have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1.
