General Information about #14060C

The hexadecimal color code #14060C represents a very dark shade of red. It is often referred to as "Asphalt" due to its resemblance to the color of paved roads. In the RGB color model, #14060C is composed of 8.24% red, 2.35% green, and 4.71% blue. This translates to a very low luminance value, making it appear almost black. Colors similar to Asphalt are often associated with sophistication, mystery, and understated elegance. However, its dark nature also means it can evoke feelings of gloom or seriousness. The color is mostly used in industrial designs.

The color #14060C, a very dark shade of red, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance results in poor contrast against most background colors, especially white and light shades. This makes it difficult for individuals with visual impairments, including those with low vision or color blindness, to distinguish text or important visual elements. To ensure accessibility, it is crucial to avoid using #14060C for text or interactive elements unless paired with a very light background color that provides a high contrast ratio (at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as recommended by WCAG guidelines). It's also essential to consider providing alternative visual cues, such as icons or labels, to convey information, rather than relying solely on color. Careful consideration and testing are vital to guarantee that content remains accessible to all users when employing such a dark color.
