General Information about Science Blue (#0651E0)

Science Blue, represented by the hexadecimal code #0651E0, is a vibrant and energetic shade of blue. It is often associated with innovation, technology, and forward-thinking concepts. This particular hue sits comfortably within the blue color spectrum, leaning towards a slightly brighter and more electric tone compared to traditional blues. In color theory, blue is generally linked to feelings of calmness, stability, and trustworthiness. However, the addition of a more vivid quality in Science Blue gives it a more modern and dynamic edge, making it a popular choice for brands and designers seeking to convey a sense of progress and technological advancement.

The color #0651E0, also known as Science Blue, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its low luminance. Its contrast ratio against white is very low, making it difficult for users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, to distinguish text or interface elements using this color. To ensure inclusivity, it is essential to use this color sparingly, particularly for text or interactive components. When used, it should be paired with a very light color such as white or a very dark color like black to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast requirements. Providing alternative color schemes or allowing users to customize colors can further enhance accessibility. Careful consideration of color combinations and contrast ratios is crucial to providing an accessible and user-friendly experience for all users.
