General Information about Ultramarine

Ultramarine, represented by the hex code #000A98, is a deep, vivid blue color reminiscent of the pigment originally derived from lapis lazuli. It is characterized by its rich, intense hue and is often associated with qualities such as depth, stability, and trust. In color psychology, blue is known to evoke feelings of calmness, security, and intellect, making Ultramarine a popular choice for branding and design purposes in industries such as finance, technology, and healthcare. The color's intensity and saturation can vary slightly depending on the medium and lighting conditions, but it generally maintains a consistent, recognizable appearance. Ultramarine is widely used in both digital and print media, and it serves as a versatile option for creating visually appealing and impactful designs.

The hex color #000a98, also known as Ultramarine, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text (ideally white or near-white) to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, meeting WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using darker text colors would make content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. Additionally, relying solely on color to convey information should be avoided. Supplement color cues with text labels or icons to ensure usability for color-blind users. Consider using accessibility evaluation tools to test color combinations and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, thereby creating a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for all users, regardless of their visual abilities. Proper attention to color contrast enhances overall website usability and avoids potential barriers to access.
