General Information about Denim

Its CMYK values are 0.93, 0.58, 0.0, and 0.26, meaning it requires a high amount of cyan and magenta to achieve this particular hue in print. Denim is often associated with feelings of stability, trustworthiness, and authority. It evokes a sense of calmness and reliability. It can be effectively used in designs where building trust and conveying professionalism are crucial.

The color #0D4FBD, also known as Denim, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly in text-based contexts. Due to its relatively low luminance, it may not provide sufficient contrast against light backgrounds, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to comply with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). When using #0D4FBD for text, consider pairing it with a very light color like white or a very pale yellow to ensure adequate contrast. Alternatively, use it sparingly for decorative elements where legibility is not critical. For interactive elements, consider providing visual cues beyond color alone to ensure that all users can perceive the state of the element. Testing with accessibility tools is crucial to validate color choices.
