General Information about #181200

The hex color code #181200 represents a very dark shade of brown, often associated with colors like Acadia or dark chocolate. It's composed of 9.4% red, 7.1% green, and 0% blue. In the RGB color model, it has the values (24, 18, 0). The color is far more dominant in red tones than blue. In the CMYK color model, it consists of 0% cyan, 25% magenta, 100% yellow, and 91% black. This indicates that it's a subtractive color that requires a significant amount of black pigment to achieve its deep tone. The color's darkness is primarily due to the substantial black component, resulting in a low luminance value. Because of its deep saturation, the color is best used in limited applications.

The hex color #181200, a very dark shade of brown, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its extremely low luminance makes it unsuitable as a text color on light backgrounds, as the contrast ratio would be far below the WCAG recommended minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using this color for text would render it nearly illegible for individuals with low vision or color blindness. Similarly, using it as a background color with light text would be problematic. To ensure accessibility, avoid using #181200 for text or interactive elements. If it is crucial for branding purposes, use it sparingly for decorative elements and pair it with high-contrast colors for any accompanying text or interactive components. Always test the color combination with accessibility tools to verify sufficient contrast.
