The hexadecimal color #115B02, also known as San Felix, is a dark shade of green. It has a relatively low saturation and brightness, contributing to its earthy and natural appearance. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 6.67% red, 35.69% green, and 0.78% blue. In the CMYK color model, it consists of 81.35% cyan, 0% magenta, 97.82% yellow, and 64.31% black. This color is often associated with nature, tranquility, and stability. It can evoke feelings of calmness and peace, making it suitable for designs that aim to create a relaxing atmosphere. However, its dark nature means it should be used carefully to ensure sufficient contrast with text and other elements.
The color #115B02 has a low contrast ratio against white text, making it difficult to read for users with visual impairments. Using this color as a background with white text would fail WCAG AA standards for normal text. A darker shade or a lighter text color is recommended to improve readability. When paired with black text, the contrast is slightly better but still falls short of accessibility guidelines. For optimal accessibility, consider using a lighter tint of green or a darker text color such as a very dark brown or black. Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to ensure compliance with WCAG standards. You can also provide alternative color themes to allow users to select a more accessible color scheme. Remember that good contrast is crucial for users with low vision or color blindness.
