The hex color #021716, also known as Holly, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its extremely low luminance. Its very dark nature means it offers insufficient contrast against virtually any light-colored text or background. This makes it difficult for users with visual impairments to read text displayed in this color, and can even cause eye strain for users with normal vision. Web developers should avoid using #021716 for text or important user interface elements unless paired with a carefully chosen, very light color to ensure a contrast ratio that meets WCAG guidelines (ideally 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text). Testing with accessibility tools is crucial to ensure compliance.
