Its subdued nature makes it a versatile choice for backgrounds, accents, and other design elements.

The color #0C5218, also known as Parsley, presents some accessibility challenges. Its dark hue means that text rendered in this color requires a light background to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using #0C5218 on a dark background would likely fail these contrast tests, making it difficult for users, especially those with visual impairments, to read the content. Therefore, when incorporating this color in web design, it is crucial to pair it with a very light color such as white (#FFFFFF) or a pale yellow to meet accessibility standards. Also, avoid using it for interactive elements without proper visual cues.
