#005AE6

General Information

The hexadecimal color #005AE6, commonly known as Blue Ribbon, is a vibrant and saturated shade of blue often associated with qualities such as trust, authority, and intelligence. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 0% red, 35.3% green, and 90.2% blue. This composition gives it a strong presence and makes it stand out. The color is frequently used in corporate branding, web design, and marketing materials where a sense of professionalism and reliability is desired. It is also used in applications where a bold, eye-catching color is needed to draw attention. Understanding the properties of this color can help designers and developers leverage its strengths effectively.

The hex color #005AE6, also known as Blue Ribbon, presents specific accessibility considerations for web development. Its relatively low luminance value means that it requires careful pairing with text and background colors to ensure sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal-sized text and 3:1 for large text. When using #005AE6 as a background, it is crucial to use light-colored text (e.g., white or very light gray) to meet these standards. Conversely, if #005AE6 is used for text, a dark background is necessary. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. Additionally, consider users with color vision deficiencies; avoid relying solely on color to convey important information. Supplement color cues with text labels or icons to provide alternative ways to understand the content. This color is vibrant, so using it sparingly can also improve the accessibility of the overall design.
