#0C0002

General Information about #0C0002

#0C0002, also known as Diesel, is a very dark shade of red, almost approaching black. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 4.71% red, 0% green, and 0.78% blue. Its hexadecimal representation, #0C0002, indicates the intensity of each color component. This color is not commonly used due to its near-black appearance, which can make it difficult to distinguish from true black in many applications. Its subtle red undertone can add a touch of warmth, but this is often lost due to its overall darkness. The color is associated with darkness, mystery and even the deep void of space. It is a color that can be used for very particular purposes, and requires an eye for detail to ensure its effective use.

The hex color #0C0002 presents significant accessibility challenges due to its extremely low luminance. This dark shade of red is difficult to perceive, especially for individuals with visual impairments or color vision deficiencies. Insufficient contrast against light backgrounds makes text or graphical elements using this color nearly illegible. Web developers should avoid using #0C0002 for critical information or interactive elements. When used, a high contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is crucial to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards. Alternatives with higher brightness and distinct contrast should be strongly considered to ensure inclusivity and optimal user experience for all users, regardless of their visual abilities. Using color contrast analysis tools can aid in evaluating and improving the accessibility of designs incorporating this color.
