General Information about Resolution Blue

It resides within the blue color family and is often associated with feelings of trust, stability, and authority. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 1.2% red, 10.2% green, and 58.8% blue. This specific combination results in a color that is perceived as both calming and powerful. Resolution Blue is frequently employed in contexts where reliability and professionalism are paramount.

Its intensity can also evoke a sense of depth and sophistication.

The hex color #031A95, also known as Resolution Blue, presents some accessibility challenges, especially for text and interactive elements. With a low relative luminance, it provides insufficient contrast when paired with lighter shades, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Resolution Blue often falls short of these recommendations when used with standard white or light-colored text. Therefore, careful consideration should be given to ensure sufficient contrast by using a very light color for text or interface elements to meet accessibility standards and provide a better user experience for everyone, including those with low vision or color blindness. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine compliant color pairings.
