The hex color #083838, also known as Tiber, is a very dark shade of green. It belongs to the dark moderate green color family. In the RGB color model, #083838 consists of 3.14% red, 21.96% green, and 21.96% blue. In the CMYK color model, it is composed of 91% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow, and 78% black. This color evokes a sense of tranquility and nature, reminiscent of deep forests or calm waters. Its low saturation and dark tone make it suitable for creating a subtle and sophisticated aesthetic. It can be used as a grounding element in design, offering a sense of stability and understated elegance. Because it is a very dark color, its luminance is only at 2%, which means it can be easily overseen and is hard to read with common colors.

The color #083838, a deep, muted shade of green, presents both opportunities and challenges for accessibility. Its low luminance value of approximately 2% means it offers very little contrast against a standard white background. Consequently, using #083838 as text color on a white background would fail WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio requirements. To ensure readability and accessibility, it is essential to pair #083838 with a very light color, such as a pale yellow or a very light gray, for text or interface elements. Alternatively, it can be used as a background color with a contrasting light text color. When used in charts or graphs, avoid pairing it with similar dark colors, opting instead for bright, distinct hues to maintain clarity for users with visual impairments. Careful consideration of color combinations is crucial for ensuring that content is accessible to all users, including those with low vision or color blindness. The color's subtlety can be an asset if used thoughtfully, avoiding stark contrasts that can be jarring for some viewers.
