General Information

The color #104822, also known as Parsley, is a dark shade of green that evokes feelings of nature, growth, and tranquility. It belongs to the green color family and is often associated with harmony, health, and stability. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 6.27% red, 28.24% green, and 13.33% blue. Its hexadecimal representation, #104822, is commonly used in web design and digital graphics. The color's subdued nature makes it suitable for creating a calming and grounding atmosphere. It is often used in contexts where a sense of reliability and organic quality is desired. Its low lightness value means it's closer to black and therefore it's more appropriate as a background or accent, rather than as a primary focus color.

The color #104822, a dark shade of green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially in text applications. Its low luminance (approximately 5% of the maximum possible luminance) means it requires very light text on a background of this color to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, the contrast ratio between text and background should be at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using #104822 as a background, ensure that text colors like white (#FFFFFF) or very light yellows are employed. Avoid pairing it with mid-tone colors, as this will likely result in inadequate contrast. Using contrast checking tools during the design phase is highly recommended to verify compliance with accessibility standards, ensuring a usable experience for users with visual impairments. This also applies for icons and graphical elements that need to be discernible.
