Pine Tree

General Information about #122103

The hexadecimal color code #122103 represents a very dark shade of green, often referred to as 'Pine Tree' due to its resemblance to the color of pine needles in a dense forest. In the RGB color model, it is composed of 7.06% red, 12.94% green, and 1.18% blue. This color resides within the dark green spectrum. It is predominantly green with a slight desaturation, contributing to its muted and earthy tone. Due to its low lightness value, it appears almost black. Colors like this are generally associated with nature, stability, and, in some instances, secrecy or mystery. Its primary use is in design concepts requiring a subdued, natural, and somewhat camouflaged aesthetic.

The color #122103, also known as Pine Tree, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance of approximately 0.01 makes it difficult to perceive against most backgrounds, especially white. The contrast ratio against white is approximately 20:1, far exceeding the WCAG AAA recommended ratio of 7:1 for enhanced accessibility. Consequently, text or interactive elements using #122103 as the foreground color on a white or light background would be illegible for many users, including those with visual impairments. To improve accessibility, it is essential to use a much lighter foreground color or provide a dark background. Adjusting the color palette is crucial to ensure that content is perceivable and usable by a wider audience. A contrast checker tool can effectively assess color combinations. Consider larger font sizes to enhance readability.
