General Information

#0A1A4A, also known as Bunting, is a dark shade of blue that evokes feelings of depth, stability, and sophistication. It is a versatile color often associated with trust, authority, and intelligence. In color psychology, dark blues like Bunting are known to promote a sense of calmness and security, making them suitable for environments where focus and concentration are desired. This particular shade is often used in corporate branding and website design to convey a sense of professionalism and reliability. Its rich, deep tone allows it to pair well with both vibrant and muted colors, making it a popular choice for designers seeking a balance between boldness and subtlety. Bunting provides a powerful foundation and creates a sense of confidence.

The contrast ratio of #0A1A4A (Bunting) against white is approximately 14.7:1, which exceeds the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) AAA standards for text and non-text contrast. This high contrast ensures excellent readability for users with visual impairments. When used as a background color, it is recommended to use light-colored text (white or very light shades) to maintain optimal accessibility. Conversely, using dark-colored text would violate accessibility guidelines. For graphical elements and user interface components, ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against adjacent colors to meet WCAG AA standards. Larger text (14pt bold or 18pt regular) requires a minimum contrast ratio of 3:1. Consistent application of these guidelines guarantees a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for all users, regardless of their visual abilities. Testing with accessibility tools is crucial to validate contrast ratios and identify potential issues.
