General Information about Ultramarine (#080F90)

The color #080F90, also known as Ultramarine, is a deep blue hue with strong associations to royalty and sophistication. Ultramarine has a rich history, originally derived from the precious stone lapis lazuli. In art, it has been highly valued for its brilliance and permanence. Today, the color is synthetically produced but retains its air of luxury and depth. Ultramarine is often used to evoke feelings of tranquility, wisdom, and stability. It belongs to the blue color family, known for its calming and intellectual properties. Its hex code #080F90 indicates a composition of red, green and blue light.

The hex color #080F90, a deep ultramarine, presents accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value of 2.3 makes it difficult to read text rendered in this color against a dark background. According to WCAG guidelines, it fails against AAA and AA standards for normal text. To improve accessibility, consider using a lighter text color like white or a very pale yellow. Alternatively, using #080F90 for large text (headings, etc.) can be acceptable, but contrast should still be carefully evaluated. Avoid using this color for critical interactive elements without sufficient contrast. Thoughtful design choices, like layering effects or using a contrasting border, can enhance visibility, but testing with users with visual impairments is crucial to ensure inclusive design.
