General Information about Persian Blue

The hex color #0839E8, also known as Persian Blue, is a vibrant and intense shade of blue. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 3.14% red, 22.35% green, and 90.98% blue. This color is often associated with depth, stability, and trust. It is frequently used in branding and design to convey a sense of professionalism and reliability. Persian Blue's high saturation and relatively low lightness make it stand out, and it can be used to create a bold visual impact. However, due to its intense nature, it should be used thoughtfully to avoid overwhelming the design. In terms of color theory, Persian Blue pairs well with complementary colors like yellows and oranges, creating a dynamic contrast. Analogous colors, such as shades of purple and cyan, can also be used to create harmonious and balanced compositions. Its versatility makes it a popular choice across various fields, from web design to fashion.

The hex color #0839E8, also known as Persian Blue, presents certain accessibility challenges, particularly concerning color contrast. When used as a background color, it requires careful consideration of the foreground text or elements placed upon it. Due to its relatively low lightness value, text in a lighter color (such as white or pale yellow) is essential to ensure readability and compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. If the contrast is insufficient, users with visual impairments may struggle to distinguish the text, leading to a poor user experience. Tools like contrast checkers can help determine if the color combination meets accessibility requirements. Consideration should also be given to users with color blindness; relying solely on color to convey information should be avoided. Providing alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, can make the content accessible to a wider audience. Furthermore, implementing focus indicators for interactive elements is crucial for keyboard navigation.
