#011633

General Information about #011633

The hexadecimal color #011633, often referred to as Midnight, is a very dark shade of blue-black. In the RGB color model, it consists of 0.4% red, 8.6% green, and 20% blue. Its primary attribute is its deep, almost imperceptible hue, making it suitable for applications where subtlety and sophistication are desired. Colors close to black usually don't have a very strong individual color representation. It creates a sense of depth and can be used to evoke feelings of tranquility or mystery. In web design, it can serve as a sophisticated background color or be used for subtle accents, but it is crucial to pair it with lighter text to ensure readability.

The hex color #011633, also known as Midnight, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its very dark nature. When used as a background color, it necessitates extremely light text to ensure sufficient contrast for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This dark hue may struggle to meet these standards unless paired with colors approaching pure white. Designers should carefully evaluate text and interactive element contrast to avoid excluding users. Furthermore, consider providing alternative color themes to accommodate diverse user preferences and needs, allowing individuals to customize the interface for optimal viewing comfort.
