Black

#080001

General Information

#080001 is a hexadecimal color code representing a very dark shade of black. In the RGB color model, it consists of 0.03% red, 0% green, and 0.04% blue. This composition results in a color that is extremely close to pure black. Colors near black are difficult to identify by the human eye. The color is often associated with sophistication, elegance, and mystery. It is frequently used in designs where a subtle, understated presence is desired. However, its low luminance means that it can pose accessibility challenges if used improperly, particularly for text or interactive elements. Always use a contrast checker.

The hex color #080001, a very dark shade, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance contrast with most background colors, especially white, makes it difficult for users with visual impairments to discern text or graphical elements rendered in this color. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) emphasize a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for standard text and 3:1 for large text against its background to meet AA compliance. #080001 falls far short of these requirements, potentially excluding users with low vision or color blindness. Therefore, using this color for text or important interface elements is strongly discouraged without careful consideration of contrast. To enhance accessibility, designers should pair this color with much lighter hues or avoid using it altogether for critical information. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate and adjust color combinations to ensure they meet accessibility standards, creating a more inclusive user experience. Meaningful non-color design elements are also a good idea to ensure accessibility.
