About Hex Color #011A1A

The hex color #011A1A, often referred to as "Swamp," is a very dark shade of green with minimal presence of red and blue, resulting in a muted, earthy tone. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 0.4% red, 10.2% green, and 10.2% blue. Its primary characteristic is its low luminance, making it a challenging color for use in designs where readability and contrast are crucial. Due to its nature, it is best used as an accent or background color, and it should be paired with much lighter hues to ensure sufficient contrast. It evokes feelings of nature, earth, and perhaps a slight sense of mystery due to its depth. Its visual impact relies heavily on context and complementary colors.

The hex color #011A1A, also known as Swamp, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its very low luminance. Its contrast ratio against a white background is extremely poor, making it difficult for individuals with visual impairments to perceive text or graphical elements rendered in this color. Web developers should avoid using #011A1A for primary text or interactive elements without implementing substantial contrast enhancements. A general recommendation is to use a color contrast checker to ensure compliance with WCAG guidelines. Alternatives like lighter shades of green or teal should be considered to improve readability and overall accessibility for all users. Ensuring sufficient contrast is crucial for creating inclusive and user-friendly web experiences.
