The color #B39797, also known as Del Rio, presents moderate accessibility challenges. Its contrast ratio against white is approximately 2.4:1, which falls short of the WCAG's minimum requirement of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This means that using #B39797 for text on a white background may be difficult for users with low vision or other visual impairments to read comfortably. To improve accessibility, consider using a darker text color or a lighter background color to increase the contrast ratio. Tools like online contrast checkers can help evaluate and adjust color combinations for better readability. When used for interactive elements such as buttons or links, ensure there's sufficient visual distinction to meet accessibility standards. Providing alternative visual cues or text labels can further enhance usability for all users.
