Woodsmoke

#09110E

General Information

The hex color #09110E, also known as Woodsmoke, is a very dark shade of green-gray, almost appearing black to the naked eye. It belongs to the family of near-black colors, characterized by extremely low lightness and saturation values. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 3.53% red, 6.67% green, and 5.49% blue. This color evokes feelings of mystery, sophistication, and calm. Woodsmoke is often associated with natural elements like shadows in a forest or the color of burnt wood. Its muted and understated nature makes it a versatile choice for various design applications where a subtle, dark backdrop is needed.

The hex color #09110E, also known as Woodsmoke, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance makes it unsuitable for text or interactive elements unless paired with a very light color for sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Woodsmoke is unlikely to meet these standards when used with most background colors. To ensure accessibility, designers should use contrast checking tools to verify that the chosen foreground color provides adequate contrast. Alternatives include lighter shades of gray or green, or adjusting the Woodsmoke color itself to be lighter and more visible.
