General Information about Asphalt

#170904, also known as Asphalt, is a very dark shade of brown. It belongs to the dark-tone colors group and evokes feelings of earthiness, stability, and grounding. Its hexadecimal representation indicates a composition of 9.02% red, 3.53% green, and 1.57% blue. In the RGB color space, it translates to R:23, G:9, B:4. The color's low saturation and luminance make it a challenging color to work with, particularly in applications where readability is crucial. It often evokes a sense of mystery, somberness, or understated elegance. Due to the high density of darkness, this color absorbs most light.

The color #170904, a very dark, desaturated shade of brown, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance makes it difficult to distinguish from black, which can cause problems for users with low vision or color blindness. The contrast ratio against white is very poor, falling far short of WCAG guidelines for readability. Therefore, using this color for text or interactive elements is strongly discouraged. If it must be used, ensure sufficient contrast with a very light background color, and consider providing alternative styling options for users who need them. Additionally, avoid relying solely on color to convey information, as users with color vision deficiencies may not be able to perceive the intended message. Careful consideration and thorough testing are crucial to ensure an inclusive user experience.
