In a hexadecimal color code, the values represent the intensity of red, green, and blue light that make up the color.

This color is commonly referred to as "Dark Blue" due to its high blue component and low red and green components. Its darkness results from the lower overall intensity of light compared to brighter colors.

The color #0b13cb, a dark blue, presents significant accessibility challenges primarily due to its low luminance. When used as text against a white or light background, the contrast ratio is far below the WCAG recommended levels for readability. This makes it difficult for users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, to distinguish the text from the background. To improve accessibility, it's crucial to pair this dark blue with a much lighter color for text, or use it as a background color with very light text. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text is recommended to meet WCAG AA standards. Furthermore, avoid using this color as the sole indicator for interactive elements or important information, as colorblind users may not be able to perceive it. Supplement color with other visual cues like text labels or icons.
