General Information about Timber Green

The hex color code #1A2B30, also known as Timber Green, is a dark shade of green-cyan. It's composed of 10.2% red, 16.9% green, and 18.8% blue. In the RGB color model, this equates to R:26, G:43, B:48. The CMYK representation is C:46, M:11, Y:0, K:81. This color leans towards the cooler side of the spectrum due to the higher values of green and blue compared to red. Timber Green is a color that suggests nature, tranquility, and stability. It's often associated with forests, earthy tones, and a sense of grounding. Because of its darkness, it is suitable as a background color when paired with lighter colors for contrast.

The color #1a2b30, also known as Timber Green, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used for text or interactive elements. Its relatively low luminance of approximately 6% means that it requires a very light foreground color to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Using a color like white (#ffffff) for text on a #1a2b30 background will likely achieve sufficient contrast. However, it's crucial to test the color combination with accessibility tools to ensure compliance. Consider using a lighter tint of green or a completely different hue if achieving adequate contrast proves difficult. Also, avoid using this color as the sole means of conveying information; supplement it with text labels or icons.
