#001A0D

General Information

The color #001A0D, commonly referred to as Holly, is a dark shade of green. It's composed of 0% red, 10.2% green, and 5.1% blue. In the RGB color space, it is defined by these values. The perceived darkness of this color is quite high due to its low luminance, which influences how it's perceived by the human eye. Colors like this can evoke feelings of nature, earthiness, and tranquility. It is a very saturated, dark color. The color is often associated with themes of nature, sustainability, and organic products due to its resemblance to foliage and other natural elements.

The color #001A0D, a deep shade of green, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its very low luminance of approximately 0.009 makes it exceedingly difficult to read text rendered in this color against a standard white background. According to WCAG guidelines, it would fail all contrast ratio tests. For text to be legible and usable, a contrasting color with a much higher luminance is necessary. Using this color for essential interface elements or textual content without proper contrast could exclude users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness. Therefore, it is crucial to pair it with a very light color to ensure readability and usability for all users. Consider using tools to evaluate color contrast ratios before implementing this color in designs.
