The hex color #315C66, also known as Casal, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly regarding color contrast. When used as a background color, it's crucial to select foreground text colors that provide sufficient contrast to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. A light text color, such as white (#FFFFFF) or a very pale yellow, would be necessary to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast ratios. Testing with accessibility tools is highly recommended to verify compliance. Avoid pairing #315C66 with other dark or muted colors, as this will further reduce contrast and make content difficult to perceive. Consider increasing the font size or using a bolder font weight to improve legibility. For interactive elements, ensure sufficient visual cues beyond color alone to indicate state and function, addressing the needs of users who may have difficulty distinguishing colors.
