In terms of color theory, it leans towards the cool side of the spectrum. Big Stone can be described as a color that is both understated and elegant, making it a versatile choice for various design applications. Its hex code, #182236, indicates its composition in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model: it has relatively low values for all three components, resulting in its dark appearance.

The muted nature of Big Stone means that it can be incorporated in designs and be subtle.

The hex color #182236, also known as Big Stone, presents accessibility challenges due to its low luminance. Its dark nature results in a low contrast ratio when paired with standard text colors like white or light gray. This can make it difficult for users with visual impairments, such as those with low vision or color blindness, to read text or distinguish elements on a web page or application. To improve accessibility, it's crucial to use sufficiently light text colors (e.g., #FFFFFF) or to incorporate contrasting design elements like borders or backgrounds. Furthermore, consider using accessibility evaluation tools to ensure the color combination meets WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, aiming for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Providing alternative high-contrast themes or user customization options can also enhance usability for a wider audience.
