This color is often associated with nature, growth, and harmony, making it a popular choice for designs that aim to evoke feelings of tranquility and balance. Green Haze is commonly used in branding, web design, and interior decorating to create a sense of freshness and vitality. Its unique hue sets it apart from more traditional greens, offering a modern and sophisticated twist. In the CMYK color model, which is used for printing, Green Haze consists of approximately 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 30% yellow, and 39% black.

The hex color #009B6D, also known as Green Haze, presents moderate accessibility challenges. Its contrast ratio against white text is approximately 3.7:1, which falls short of the WCAG AA standard of 4.5:1 for normal text. When used as a background color with white text, users with moderate visual impairments might find it difficult to read. To improve accessibility, consider using a darker shade of green to increase the contrast ratio, or pair it with a lighter text color such as a very pale yellow or light gray. For large text (14pt bold or 18pt regular), the contrast ratio is 3:1, which meets the WCAG AA standard, but it's still advisable to enhance contrast where possible. Ensuring sufficient contrast is crucial for users with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments. Additionally, avoid using this color as the sole indicator of important information; supplement it with text labels or icons to ensure usability for all users. Testing with accessibility tools and user feedback is highly recommended to validate the color's suitability in various contexts.
