#11204C

General Information About #11204c

#11204c, also referred to as Bunting, is a deep, dark shade of blue within the broader blue color family. It evokes feelings of seriousness, sophistication, and mystery. The hex code signifies its composition: 11 represents the red component, 20 represents the green component, and 4c represents the blue component. In the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, #11204c has low values for all three components, resulting in a dark hue. It is often associated with calmness and depth, frequently used in contexts where a sense of reliability or authority needs to be communicated. Its subdued nature means it works well in formal designs, and can be used to provide a dark background for lighter elements.

The hex color #11204c, also known as Bunting, presents significant accessibility challenges, particularly for users with visual impairments. Its low luminance value (a measure of brightness) results in very poor contrast against white text or backgrounds. According to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability. To meet the minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text, #11204c should ideally be paired with very light shades of yellow, white, or pale blues. Avoid using it with darker colors as it will make the content illegible. It's recommended to use a contrast checker tool to verify the contrast ratio before using it on a website or application. For larger text (14pt bold/18pt regular and up), a contrast ratio of 3:1 is acceptable, but careful color choices are still necessary.
