Deep Forest Green is a color associated with nature, tranquility, and can evoke feelings of earthiness and sophistication. It's often used in designs aiming to convey a sense of natural beauty, calmness, or luxury. However, its darkness requires careful consideration in design applications, particularly with regards to accessibility and contrast.

The color #213202, a deep forest green, presents significant accessibility challenges. Its low luminance of approximately 3% results in very poor contrast against standard white backgrounds. According to WCAG guidelines, this color combination fails all levels of compliance (AAA, AA, and Normal). To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to avoid using #213202 for text or important interactive elements on light backgrounds. If this color is essential for branding, consider using it sparingly for decorative purposes or in large graphical elements where readability isn't critical. When using it for text, pair it with extremely light colors like #FFFFFF or very bright accent colors to meet the contrast ratio requirements. Testing with accessibility tools is highly recommended to ensure compliance.
