General Information about #1E050E

The hexadecimal color code #1E050E represents a very dark shade of red. It is composed of 11.8% red, 2% green, and 5.5% blue. In the RGB color model, this corresponds to R:30, G:5, B:14. In the HSV (or HSB) color space, #1E050E has a hue of 342 degrees, a saturation of 83.3%, and a value of 11.8%. This color is often associated with feelings of depth, mystery, and sophistication. Due to its low luminance, it is generally used as an accent color or in situations where a subtle, subdued aesthetic is desired. Its dark nature makes it unsuitable as a primary color for text or backgrounds without careful consideration of contrast ratios.

The color #1E050E, also known as Night Rider, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background or text color. Due to its low luminance, the contrast ratio against standard white backgrounds is insufficient to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for normal text (AA compliance). This means that users with visual impairments, such as those with low vision or color blindness, may struggle to read text or distinguish elements using this color. To improve accessibility, it is recommended to pair Night Rider with much lighter colors to ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and graphical elements. Additionally, avoid using this color as the sole indicator for important interactive elements, as users who are color blind may not be able to perceive them. Providing alternative cues, such as text labels or icons, is crucial for ensuring inclusivity and a positive user experience. Consider using tools to check color contrast to ensure compliance with accessibility standards before deploying designs with #1E050E.

Applications

• Sophisticated Web Design

  Night Rider can be employed to create a sophisticated and mysterious ambiance in web design. It is suitable for websites related to luxury brands, nighttime events, or anything aiming for a high-end feel. To avoid accessibility issues, use it sparingly, pairing it with light text or as an accent color in combination with brighter, more readable hues. For instance, a website showcasing a collection of dark and elegant apparel can use Night Rider as the background for headings or to separate content sections, while ensuring the main text is a lighter shade, such as white or a pale grey.

• Elegant Fashion

  In the realm of fashion, Night Rider can be utilized as a base color for clothing items that exude a sense of elegance and understated luxury. Think of a velvet blazer, a satin dress, or a pair of leather boots. Given its dark nature, it pairs well with lighter accessories or accents, such as gold jewelry or a silk scarf in a complementary color. It also functions effectively as a grounding color for more vibrant and patterned pieces. For a balanced look, consider combining Night Rider garments with neutral tones like beige, cream, or grey.

• Interior Accents

  In interior design, Night Rider is suitable for creating a cozy and intimate space. As an accent color or even a dominant color in a room with adequate lighting it can establish a sophisticated mood. Consider using it on an accent wall in a living room or painting a bedroom in this color. To avoid a heavy or overwhelming feel, balance it with lighter furniture, textiles, or decorative items. Metallic accents, such as gold or copper, will also contribute to a luxurious atmosphere. Use it in combination with good lighting conditions.
