General Information about Woodsmoke (#0A0C14)

The color #0A0C14, often referred to as Woodsmoke, is a very dark shade of gray. Its hexadecimal representation indicates a low presence of red, green, and blue, resulting in a near-black appearance. In the RGB color model, it consists of 10 red, 12 green, and 20 blue components. Its darkness gives it a sense of depth and formality, making it suitable for applications where subtlety and sophistication are desired. In the CMYK color model, it requires high percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks to reproduce accurately. The color's low lightness value means it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it appear muted in bright conditions. Woodsmoke falls within the cool spectrum of colors, lending it a calming effect and contributing to its appeal for use in minimalist or modern designs.

The hex color #0A0C14, also known as Woodsmoke, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially when used for text or interactive elements. Due to its very low luminance, it provides insufficient contrast against typical light backgrounds, potentially violating 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. Woodsmoke falls far short of these recommendations when paired with white or light gray. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter shades of gray or colors from a different palette that offer better contrast. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can help evaluate the contrast ratio between text and background colors. For users with low vision or color blindness, poor contrast can make content illegible, causing a frustrating experience. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize sufficient contrast to ensure an inclusive design.
