General Information about #1F1F95

The hex color code #1F1F95 represents a dark shade of purple, often referred to as Jackson's Purple. It is composed of 12.2% red, 12.2% green, and 58.8% blue. In the RGB color model, this translates to (31, 31, 149). This color is commonly associated with royalty, luxury, and sophistication. The hexadecimal system, base 16, is a convenient way to represent colors in computing and web design. Each pair of characters in the hex code corresponds to the intensity of the red, green, and blue components, respectively. The color is far from white and black, which explains the need for a very specific accessibility strategy when using it as a primary color.

The color #1F1F95, also known as Jackson's Purple, presents some accessibility challenges due to its relatively low lightness value. When used as a foreground color, it requires careful consideration of the background color to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Pairing this dark purple with light colors like white, cream, or light yellow can improve readability. Avoid using it with other dark colors, as the low contrast can make text difficult to read, especially for users with visual impairments. Consider using a contrast checker tool to verify compliance with accessibility standards. Using a slightly lighter shade of purple or increasing the font size can also help improve accessibility. Ensure interactive elements using this color have clear visual cues on hover and focus states.
