General Information about Jackson's Purple

The hex color #213393, also known as Jackson's Purple, is a deep, muted shade of purple. In the RGB color model, it consists of 13% red, 20% green, and 58% blue. This combination creates a color that is both calming and sophisticated. Jackson's Purple is often associated with royalty, wisdom, and spirituality. It's a color that exudes confidence and creativity, making it suitable for projects that aim to evoke a sense of trust and imagination. In color psychology, purple is often linked to introspection and thoughtfulness. The color's relatively low saturation gives it a subdued quality, preventing it from appearing overly bright or distracting. This makes it a versatile choice for a variety of design applications, from web design to branding to interior decor.

The hex color #213393, also known as Jackson's Purple, presents some accessibility challenges. Its dark hue means that careful consideration must be given to the color of the text or interactive elements placed on top of it. According to WCAG guidelines, sufficient contrast is necessary to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. For normal text (14pt or 18px and larger), a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended, while for large text (18pt or 24px and larger) and graphical elements, a ratio of 3:1 is the minimum. When using #213393 as a background, lighter colors such as white (#FFFFFF) or pale yellow (#FFFFE0) are more likely to meet these contrast requirements. Before deploying this color in a website or application, testing with accessibility tools is crucial. These tools can help verify that the contrast ratio is adequate and that the color combination is accessible to a wide range of users, including those with low vision or color blindness. It is also advisable to obtain feedback from users with disabilities during the design and testing phases.
