General Information about #191A1B

The hex color #191A1B, often referred to as Rangoon Green, is a dark, muted shade of green, almost appearing as a dark gray or black to the untrained eye. It is created by combining small amounts of red, green, and blue light in the hexadecimal color system, resulting in a subtle, earthy tone. Colors like this are often found in nature and are used to evoke feelings of calm, stability, and sophistication. In design, it can be used to provide a sense of understated elegance and can be paired with brighter colors to create contrast or with neutral tones for a more harmonious palette. The color can also be described as a very dark olive or forest green, bordering on black, giving it a versatile range of applications.

The hex color #191A1B, also known as Rangoon Green, presents some accessibility challenges due to its low luminance. With such a dark shade, it is crucial to ensure sufficient contrast when used for text or interactive elements. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text against its background. Using #191A1B for text on a white background might not meet these requirements, potentially causing readability issues for users with visual impairments. Web developers should carefully test color combinations to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Consider pairing it with lighter colors to enhance visibility and usability. Tools like contrast checkers can help assess the color combinations and ensure they meet accessibility guidelines, providing a more inclusive user experience.
