The color #105D01, a dark shade of green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as text or a primary interactive element. Its low luminance contrast against a white background can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to discern. 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 #105D01 as text on a white background falls short of these recommendations. To improve accessibility, consider using it with lighter backgrounds or pairing it with lighter colors for text and interactive elements. This ensures sufficient contrast for users with low vision or color blindness. Furthermore, avoid relying solely on color to convey information; supplement it with text labels or other visual cues to cater to all users.

Applications
Web Design Accent Color
In web design, #105D01 can be used sparingly for accent elements or background shades where high contrast is not critical. For example, it might work well for decorative lines, icons, or subtle gradients in website headers or footers. However, it should be avoided for primary call-to-action buttons or body text due to accessibility concerns. This color evokes a sense of nature and calm, so it's well-suited for websites related to environmental topics, organic products, or wellness services. When applied thoughtfully, #105D01 can add a touch of sophistication and natural elegance to digital interfaces.
Interior Design Accent
In interior design, #105D01 could be incorporated as an accent color for walls or furniture in spaces aiming for a natural or earthy aesthetic. It pairs well with wood tones, natural fabrics, and other organic elements. As a deeper, more subdued shade, it's great for creating a cozy and grounding atmosphere, which would be great for living rooms or bedrooms. However, using it too heavily may darken the space, so balance it with lighter neutrals and ample natural light. It works great on a single statement wall to give dimension to the room.
Beauty products
Within the realm of beauty, #105D01 can be the perfect tone to create bold, nature-themed makeup designs. For example, it can be used for dark emerald smokey eye or as a deep shade for nail polishes. Because it represents stability and groundedness, it can be used for products aimed at consumers with a strong connection to nature or those with a general appreciation for earth elements.
