#06052F

General Information about #06052F

The hexadecimal color code #06052F, also known as Black Rock, represents a very dark shade of blue in the RGB color model. It is composed of 2.35% red, 1.96% green, and 18.43% blue. In the RGB (red, green, blue) system, #06052F is constructed by blending these values. The color is predominantly blue, which is reflected in its dark and mysterious aesthetic. Because of the extremely low values of Red and Green, the blue color will come forward as the dominant color. The darkness is caused by the overall low numbers of the RGB values. Black Rock is often associated with sophistication, depth, and a sense of the unknown. In contexts where a subtle yet impactful color is needed, #06052F serves as an excellent choice, provided accessibility considerations are carefully addressed due to its darkness.

The hex color #06052F, also known as Black Rock, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in text-based applications. Its extremely low luminance value of approximately 0.002 makes it difficult to achieve sufficient contrast against lighter backgrounds. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Using #06052F for text would necessitate an exceptionally light foreground color to meet these standards. Even then, the subtle nuances in the text might be lost due to the extreme contrast. In user interface design, this color could be used sparingly for decorative elements where readability isn't critical. However, it is crucial to avoid using it for essential information or interactive components without careful consideration of contrast ratios and thorough accessibility testing. Providing alternative color schemes with higher contrast is advisable to cater to a wider audience.
