The color #316383, also known as Calypso, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used for text. Its relatively low luminance can result in insufficient contrast against light backgrounds, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read. 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 #316383 for text, careful consideration must be given to the background color. Light backgrounds like white or very pale yellows should be avoided unless the text is significantly large and bold. Darker backgrounds offer better contrast but might not always be suitable for the overall design aesthetic. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter shade of the same hue or pairing it with a contrasting color for text or interactive elements. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the color combination meets accessibility standards.
