General Information about Deep Forest Green

The hex color #1D290B, also known as Deep Forest Green, is a dark shade of green with a subdued and earthy feel. It evokes a sense of nature, tranquility, and sophistication. This color is created by combining a small amount of red (11.4%), a moderate amount of green (16.1%), and a very small amount of blue (4.3%). It is commonly associated with forests, foliage, and natural landscapes. In color theory, it falls under the green family and can be used to create harmonious color schemes with complementary colors or analogous colors. The low saturation and luminance values make it a versatile color that can be used in a variety of applications. It should be used with caution in web design due to accessibility issues related to contrast.

The color #1D290B, a deep forest green, presents some accessibility challenges. Its low luminance value means it has a weak contrast against white backgrounds, potentially making text or UI elements difficult to read for users with visual impairments. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for readability. To improve accessibility, consider using this color with lighter shades of green or yellow to increase contrast, or use it sparingly for decorative elements rather than essential information. Avoid pairing it with dark grays or blacks, as this would further reduce contrast. When used for interactive elements, ensure that hover and focus states provide clear visual differentiation. Also consider users with color blindness, and ensure sufficient contrast ratios are met for those with deuteranopia or protanopia. Use a color contrast checker to ensure the ratio is at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
