In human perception, dark greens often feel calm and relaxing. Because of its low RGB values it is regarded as a neutral tone.

The hex color #14201A, a dark, muted green, presents several accessibility considerations for web design. Its low lightness value means it has a low contrast ratio against a white background, potentially failing WCAG standards for text readability. Using it for body text requires a very light foreground color to ensure sufficient contrast. However, it could work effectively for decorative elements or as a background color when paired with high-contrast elements. When using this color, careful attention must be paid to its contrast ratio with adjacent colors. Consider using tools like contrast checkers to verify sufficient contrast for text and interactive elements. Providing alternative style sheets that offer higher contrast can also improve accessibility for users with visual impairments. Ensure that interactive elements using this color have sufficient visual cues beyond color alone.
