The hex color #0A120C, also known as Marshland, is a very dark shade of green. It belongs to the green color family but leans towards the cooler, more muted end of the spectrum due to its low saturation and brightness. In the RGB color model, it consists of 10 red, 18 green, and 12 blue. When represented in the CMYK color model, which is used for printing, it comprises approximately 44% cyan, 0% magenta, 33% yellow, and 93% black. This color is often associated with nature, earthiness, and a sense of tranquility. Its subdued nature makes it a good choice for designs aiming for a subtle and sophisticated aesthetic. It is often used in designs for brands associated with nature, environment and sustainability. Because it's very dark, you need to be cautious about its use for text, it needs to be paired with colors of high contrast to ensure readability.

The hex color #0A120C, a dark, muted green, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value means that text rendered in this color on a white background, or vice versa, will likely fail WCAG contrast ratio guidelines. To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to pair this color with significantly lighter hues for text, or significantly darker hues for backgrounds if #0A120C is used for text. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify compliance. When using this color for interactive elements, provide sufficient visual cues beyond color alone to convey state changes. For instance, an icon or text label should accompany a color change on a button to indicate a hover or active state. This ensures that users with color vision deficiencies can still effectively use the interface. Also, consider the overall color palette and how #0A120C interacts with other colors in the design to avoid creating visual clutter or confusion for users with cognitive impairments.
