This particular hue is composed of 8.63% red, 13.73% green, and 7.84% blue. The low values in all three color channels contribute to its muted, dark character.

The color #162314, a deep hunter green, presents significant accessibility challenges, especially in web design. Its low luminance value means that text rendered in this color requires careful consideration of contrast ratios. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text against its background to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Given the darkness of #162314, light colors such as whites, yellows, and pale greens are preferable as background or foreground elements to maintain compliance. Insufficient contrast can exclude users with low vision or color blindness. Designers should use color contrast checker tools to validate accessibility and make informed decisions. Using this color as the only visual cue to communicate important information should be avoided.
