General Information about #0E0600 (Nero)

The hex color code #0E0600, often referred to as Nero, is a very dark shade of brown, almost black. It is composed of 5.49% red, 2.35% green, and 0% blue. In the RGB color space, it has values of R:14, G:6, B:0. In the CMYK color space, its values are C:0, M:0.571, Y:1, K:0.945. This color is perceived as very dark, muted, and lacks vibrancy due to the minimal presence of green and the complete absence of blue. It is often associated with sophistication, elegance, and mystery. Due to its darkness, it is crucial to use this color carefully, especially in contexts where readability and accessibility are important considerations. Nero can create a solid and grounding effect.

The hex color #0E0600, also known as Nero, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low lightness value results in very poor contrast against almost any background, especially white. This can make text and other visual elements nearly impossible to read for users with low vision or color blindness. Web developers should avoid using this color for text or interactive elements unless paired with a very light color to ensure sufficient contrast. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text to meet WCAG guidelines. Tools like contrast checkers can help evaluate the color's accessibility performance. Using lighter shades or alternative colors with better contrast is strongly advised to create inclusive and usable web experiences.
