#0560AE

General Information about #0560AE

The color #0560AE, also known as Endeavour, is a dark shade of blue that evokes feelings of stability, trust, and intelligence. This color is often associated with corporate environments, financial institutions, and technological industries due to its professional and reliable appearance. In terms of color theory, Endeavour can be described as a tertiary color, as it is created by mixing a primary color (blue) with a secondary color (green). The hexadecimal representation of this color indicates the specific amounts of red, green, and blue that make up the color. The number '05' signifies a very small amount of red, '60' a moderate amount of green, and 'AE' a substantial amount of blue, which results in a deep, cool-toned blue hue. Endeavour is widely used across a range of applications, from web design to interior decoration, because of its versatile and calming properties.

The color #0560AE, also known as Endeavour, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text on a white background. With a low luminance value, the contrast ratio falls below the WCAG guidelines for both AA and AAA compliance. This means that users with visual impairments may find it difficult to read text in this color. To improve accessibility, consider using #0560AE for larger text elements or graphical elements where readability is less critical. Alternatively, pair it with a very light color such as white, or a much darker color, for the background to ensure sufficient contrast. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text and graphics to meet AA standards. For AAA compliance, the contrast ratio should be even higher, at 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.
