General Information about #0213E4

The hex color #0213E4 represents a deep shade of blue in the RGB color model. It is composed of 0.78% red, 7.45% green, and 89.41% blue. In the sRGB color space, this translates to very little red and green contribution, with blue dominating the color mix. This color is generally perceived as a strong, electric blue. Due to its high blue component, it can evoke feelings of calmness, stability, and depth. However, its limited red and green presence makes it a somewhat stark and potentially cold color. When used in design, it often requires careful consideration of surrounding colors to ensure visual balance and harmony. Understanding its spectral composition is key to using this color effectively.

The hex color #0213E4 presents significant accessibility challenges, primarily due to its extremely low luminance. This deep blue color can be problematic when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast between text and background is essential for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. Using #0213E4 as text on a white background, or vice versa, would fail most contrast ratio tests. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter shades of blue or pairing it with much lighter colors such as whites or very light grays to ensure adequate contrast. Tools are available to check the contrast ratio to meet WCAG standards, typically requiring a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Also avoid using this color to convey important information without redundant cues.
