#0F0003

General Information about #0F0003

The hex color code #0F0003 represents a very dark shade of red, almost black. In the RGB color model, it consists of 5.88% red, 0% green, and 1.18% blue. This translates to a very low luminance value, making it appear extremely dark to the human eye. The color is often associated with depth, mystery, and sophistication due to its near-black appearance and reddish undertones. The color can be produced by mixing small amount of red with the absence of green and a slightly smaller amount of blue. In terms of color theory, #0F0003 sits near the red end of the spectrum, but its darkness subdues the typical vibrancy associated with red, making it a more muted and subtle choice. The color is often used to create a serious, elegant and dramatic effect.

The hex color #0F0003, a very dark shade of red, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance means that text rendered in this color against a white background (or any light background) will have a very poor contrast ratio, far below the WCAG's minimum recommendation of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This makes it difficult or impossible for users with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, to read the content. Therefore, using #0F0003 for text or essential user interface elements is strongly discouraged. If this color is used as a background, a very light foreground color is imperative to ensure readability. Tools for checking contrast ratios are readily available online and should be used to verify accessibility.
