General Information about #0E0453
The hexadecimal color code #0E0453 represents a dark shade of blue-purple. It is composed of 5.5% red, 1.6% green, and 32.5% blue. In the RGB color model, this translates to 14 red, 4 green, and 83 blue. When converted to the CMYK color model, its values are 83% cyan, 95% magenta, 0% yellow, and 67% black. This color is also known as Tolopea. This color is a very dark color, and therefore isn't the most suitable for text unless paired with a light background color. It is part of the blue-purple color family, and can work well to create a relaxing and mysterious atmosphere.
The color #0E0453, a deep, dark shade of blue-purple, presents considerable accessibility challenges, particularly in web design. Its extremely low luminance makes it unsuitable as a text color on a white or light background, as the contrast ratio would be far below the WCAG recommended minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This lack of contrast can cause significant readability issues for users, especially those with visual impairments. Similarly, using this color as a background necessitates very light, high-contrast text to ensure readability. Careful consideration must be given to ensure its usage doesn't exclude individuals with disabilities. Employing color contrast checkers during the design phase is crucial for compliance.

Applications
Digital Art and Illustration
This color is effective for creating a sense of depth and mystery in digital art. It can be used for depicting night skies, underwater scenes, or other environments where a dark, enigmatic mood is desired. The deep blue-purple evokes feelings of the unknown, making it ideal for works that explore themes of fantasy or the subconscious.
Web Design (Accent Color)
In web design, this color can be used sparingly as an accent color for headings or call-to-action buttons, provided that sufficient contrast with the background and text is maintained. It works well in themes that aim for a sophisticated and elegant look. However, it should not be used for large areas of text or backgrounds due to accessibility concerns. Consider its use in areas where user interaction is minimal, providing a visually compelling experience without sacrificing readability.
Photography
This dark purple works well as a base for dark and moody photography, and as a background, can let other colors stand out without clashing. Because the color is muted and dark, it can easily pair with bright colors without overshadowing them.
