General Information about #001440

The hex color code #001440, also known as Tangaroa, is a dark shade of blue. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 0% red, 7.84% green, and 25.1% blue. This combination results in a deep, muted blue often associated with sophistication, depth, and tranquility. Tangaroa is part of the broader family of blue colors, which are widely recognized for their calming and intellectual properties. In color psychology, dark blues often evoke feelings of trust, stability, and intelligence, making them a popular choice for corporate branding and professional environments. The hexadecimal system represents colors using a base-16 notation, where each pair of characters corresponds to the intensity of red, green, and blue light components. Therefore, #001440 indicates that there is very little red and green light, with a moderate amount of blue light, creating the resulting dark blue hue.

The hex color #001440, also known as Tangaroa, presents several accessibility considerations, especially in web design. Due to its dark hue, it is essential to use contrasting text colors to ensure readability. White or very light shades of yellow or green would work well to provide sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet AA standards. For AAA compliance, these ratios increase to 7:1 and 4.5:1, respectively. Using contrast checking tools during development is crucial to verify compliance. Furthermore, avoid using this color for interactive elements without clear visual cues, as users with visual impairments may struggle to identify them. Consider providing alternative styling options for users with specific needs, such as high contrast mode.
