#0E0401

General Information about #0E0401 (Nero)

The hex color code #0E0401 represents a very dark shade, often referred to as Nero. This color is composed of a small amount of red, even smaller amount of green, and an even smaller amount of blue. In the RGB color model, it has values of 14 red, 4 green, and 1 blue. This color falls very close to black on the color spectrum, having extremely low luminance and saturation. Nero conveys sophistication, mystery, and elegance, but also requires careful consideration in design due to its potential impact on readability and accessibility, and is therefore most often used in dark themes, and as background.

The hex color #0E0401, also known as Nero, presents significant accessibility challenges due to its extremely dark nature. Its very low luminance makes it unsuitable for use as text on a white or light background, as the contrast ratio would be far below the WCAG guidelines for readability. To ensure accessibility, it is imperative to pair Nero with very light colors such as whites, light grays, or light yellows. When using Nero as a background, ensure that the text is a very light color. Furthermore, avoid using this color for essential UI elements like links or buttons without careful consideration of the contrast. Designers should use contrast checking tools to verify that any color combinations meet accessibility standards to accommodate users with visual impairments. This careful approach is crucial to make content accessible to everyone.
