About Persian Blue

Persian Blue, represented by the hexadecimal color code #0138E5, is a vibrant and deep shade of blue. It sits prominently within the blue color spectrum and is characterized by its high saturation and moderate luminosity. In the RGB color model, it consists of 0.4% red, 22% green, and 89.8% blue. This color is often associated with feelings of trust, intelligence, and confidence, making it a popular choice for branding and marketing materials. Its vividness makes it suitable for attracting attention and conveying a sense of energy, but it should be used judiciously to avoid overwhelming visual elements. In digital displays, Persian Blue renders clearly and consistently, making it reliable for use in web design and digital art.

The color #0138E5, also known as Persian Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly regarding contrast. When used as a background color, it requires very light text to ensure readability. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as per WCAG guidelines. Therefore, pairing #0138E5 with white (#FFFFFF) or very light shades of yellow or green would be advisable. Avoid using dark or mid-toned colors for text on a #0138E5 background, as the contrast will likely be insufficient, making it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the content. In user interface design, ensure that interactive elements using this color have sufficient visual cues beyond color alone to aid users with color vision deficiencies. Using borders or icons in addition to color can improve accessibility.
