#0A2027

General Information about #0A2027

The hexadecimal color code #0A2027, often referred to as Mirage, represents a very dark shade of cyan-blue. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 3.92% red, 12.55% green, and 15.29% blue. Converting this to the CMYK color model yields 91% cyan, 18% magenta, 0% yellow, and 85% black. This color is typically perceived as a deep, muted, and sophisticated tone, often associated with calmness and stability. Its low luminance makes it suitable for backgrounds where a subtle and unobtrusive visual presence is desired. Due to its dark nature, it's crucial to consider contrast ratios when using #0A2027 with text or interactive elements to ensure accessibility and readability for all users. The hex code's numerical values indicate a relatively low intensity across all color channels, resulting in its dark appearance.

The hex color #0A2027, often referred to as Mirage, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly when used for text or interactive elements. Its extremely low luminance value of approximately 1.5 cd/m² falls far short of the WCAG's minimum contrast ratio requirements. Specifically, for normal text (size less than 18pt or 14pt bold), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is needed against its background. For large text (size 18pt or 14pt bold and larger), a contrast ratio of 3:1 is required. Given the darkness of Mirage, pairing it with almost any other dark color will result in insufficient contrast. Even moderately light shades may fail to provide adequate readability. Therefore, using #0A2027 for text necessitates careful consideration of the background color. Lighter background shades are a must, and designers should verify contrast ratios using accessibility tools to ensure compliance with WCAG guidelines. Furthermore, avoid using this color for critical UI elements without sufficient contrast, as this could prevent users from effectively interacting with the application.
