#052758

General Information about #052758

The hex color #052758, often referred to as "Downriver," is a very dark shade of blue. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 2.0% red, 15.3% green, and 34.5% blue. This composition results in a deep, muted tone that evokes feelings of depth and sophistication. Colors similar to #052758 are often used to represent qualities such as trustworthiness, stability, and intelligence. It is a color that tends to recede visually, making it suitable for backgrounds or accents that should not dominate a design. Its darkness also means it can effectively hide imperfections or create a sense of mystery.

The hex color #052758, also known as Downriver, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly in text-based applications. Its extremely low lightness value of approximately 3% means that it offers very little contrast against darker backgrounds, making text virtually illegible. When used as a background, it requires extremely light foreground colors, ideally pure white (#FFFFFF), to achieve acceptable contrast ratios as defined by WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Even then, careful consideration must be given to font weight and size, as thinner or smaller text may still be difficult to read. In user interface design, avoid using #052758 for crucial elements like buttons or form fields without ensuring sufficient contrast, for all users, especially those with visual impairments.
