General Information about Black Rock

The hex color code #080A2D, often referred to as 'Black Rock,' is a very dark shade of blue. It falls into the realm of near-black colors due to its extremely low luminance value. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 3.14% red, 3.92% green, and 17.65% blue. This composition explains the subtle blue undertone that differentiates it from a true black. In the HSV color space, #080A2D has a hue of 231 degrees, a saturation of 82.2%, and a value of 18%. Colors with such low value are typically perceived as dark and are often used to evoke feelings of mystery, sophistication, or depth. Due to its darkness, it's crucial to consider contrast ratios when using it in design to ensure readability and accessibility.

The color #080A2D, also known as Black Rock, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly when used as text or interactive elements. Its extremely low luminance value means that it provides very little contrast against common background colors like white. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for users with low vision or color vision deficiencies to perceive content effectively. To ensure accessibility, it's imperative to pair #080A2D with a very light color for text or interactive elements, meeting at least the AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Alternatively, consider using #080A2D sparingly for purely decorative purposes where it doesn't convey essential information. Providing alternative ways to access content, such as using ARIA attributes or descriptive labels, can also improve the experience for users who may struggle with the color contrast. Careful consideration and testing are vital when incorporating #080A2D into designs to prevent accessibility barriers.
