#0B1902

General Information about Black Forest

The hex color #0B1902, also known as Black Forest, is a very dark shade of green. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 4.31% red, 9.8% green, and 0.78% blue. Its darkness gives it a very low perceived brightness. This color is often associated with nature, forests, and a sense of depth. In color psychology, dark greens can represent growth, stability, and endurance. Black Forest can evoke feelings of tranquility and connection to the earth. Due to its low brightness, it's essential to use this color carefully in design, ensuring sufficient contrast with other elements to maintain readability and accessibility. It is more suitable for backgrounds or accent elements rather than primary text color.

The color #0B1902, also known as Black Forest, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in web design. Its extremely dark nature results in very low contrast against common background colors like white. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is essential for users with visual impairments to perceive content effectively. Therefore, using #0B1902 for text or interactive elements on a light background would likely fail accessibility standards. To improve accessibility, consider using lighter text colors such as white (#FFFFFF) or light gray on this background. Alternatively, consider using a lighter shade of green or a completely different color scheme that provides adequate contrast. Tools like contrast checkers can help assess and ensure compliance with accessibility guidelines, ultimately creating a more inclusive user experience.
