According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. When using #305FE8 as a background, pairing it with light-colored text (e.g., white or a very light yellow) will generally provide adequate contrast.

Supplementing color with other visual cues (e.g., icons, patterns, or text labels) can further enhance accessibility for all users.
