General Information about #211616

#211616, also known as Gondola, is a dark, muted shade of brown. It possesses a subtle richness that can be associated with sophistication, earthiness, and a sense of history. The color is composed of relatively low RGB values (Red: 33, Green: 22, Blue: 22), resulting in a color that absorbs a significant amount of light. In color psychology, dark browns like #211616 can evoke feelings of stability, reliability, and warmth, making them suitable for designs aiming to project trust and comfort. However, its darkness also requires careful consideration of contrast to ensure readability and accessibility. It is often found in nature and can be reminiscent of dark wood or soil.

The color #211616, a deep and muted shade, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its low luminance makes it difficult to distinguish from darker backgrounds, posing readability issues for users with visual impairments. To ensure accessibility, it is crucial to use this color with high-contrast text and interface elements. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text (14 points bold or 18 points regular) to comply with WCAG guidelines. Avoid using this color for essential UI elements like buttons or links without sufficient contrast. Consider pairing it with lighter, brighter colors to provide adequate visual separation and enhance the user experience for individuals with disabilities. Thoughtful application of contrast checkers can help in validating the compliance of the color scheme.
