General Information about #0904E2

The hex color #0904e2, also known as a dark shade of blue, is a hexadecimal representation of a specific color in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model. In this model, #0904e2 translates to 9 red, 4 green, and 226 blue. Hexadecimal color codes are commonly used in web design and digital graphics to define colors precisely. This particular shade of blue is quite deep and rich due to the high concentration of blue and relatively low concentrations of red and green. It tends to evoke feelings of trust, stability, and depth, making it a popular choice for branding and design where these qualities are desired. The color can be seen in logos, user interfaces, and digital artwork.

The hex color #0904e2, a very dark blue, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in text contexts. Its extremely low luminance makes it difficult to achieve sufficient contrast against lighter backgrounds, which is crucial for readability, particularly for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using #0904e2 as text on a white or light-colored background would likely fail these requirements. To improve accessibility, consider using this color sparingly, pairing it with much lighter shades to ensure adequate contrast. Employing contrast checking tools during design is essential to verify compliance with accessibility standards and provide an inclusive user experience. Additionally, avoid using this color for critical interactive elements without proper contrast, as it can hinder usability for many users.
