In the RGB color model, it has the values 15 red, 8 green, and 45 blue. This translates to a very low luminance, making it a color that absorbs a significant amount of light. Colors like #0F082D are often used to convey a sense of depth, mystery, or sophistication. Because of its darkness, it's not ideal for large surfaces or extensive text due to readability concerns without sufficient contrast. In the HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) system, it has a hue angle of 252 degrees, a saturation of 69.2%, and a lightness of 10.2%.

The hex color #0F082D, also known as Black Rock, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value (very dark) means that text or graphical elements rendered in this color require very light foreground colors to achieve sufficient contrast. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using #0F082D as a background with dark text would fail these criteria, making content difficult or impossible to read for many users. Designers should carefully consider color pairings and provide high-contrast alternatives to ensure readability and usability for all individuals. Proper testing with accessibility tools is crucial to validate the color choices.
