Rangoon Green

#201E13

General Information

Rangoon Green, represented by the hex code #201E13, is a dark, muted shade of green with subtle earthy undertones. It evokes a sense of nature, tranquility, and understated elegance. The color gets its name from Rangoon, the former capital of Myanmar, hinting at its exotic and historical associations. In color psychology, dark greens are often associated with stability, growth, and harmony. This makes Rangoon Green a suitable choice for designs that aim to convey reliability, sophistication, and a connection to the natural world. Its low saturation and dark value make it a versatile color that can be used in a variety of applications, from web design to interior decor.

The color #201E13, also known as Rangoon Green, presents some accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. With a low luminance value, it provides insufficient contrast when used as text against a white or light-colored background. This can make it difficult for users with visual impairments to read the content. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is crucial for ensuring readability. To improve accessibility, consider using #201E13 with a very light background or using it sparingly for decorative elements rather than essential text. Pairing it with lighter shades of green or neutral colors can also enhance readability while maintaining the intended aesthetic. Another approach is to use a text shadow or outline to create better separation between the text and the background.
