General Information

The hexadecimal color code #215693 represents a specific shade of blue, often referred to as "St Tropaz." It is composed of 12.9% red, 33.7% green, and 57.6% blue. In the RGB color model, it is defined by the values (33, 86, 147). This color falls within the cool spectrum and is often associated with feelings of calmness, trust, and stability. It's a popular choice in branding and design where conveying reliability and professionalism is important. The color's relative darkness makes it suitable for backgrounds or accents when paired with lighter colors for contrast.

The color #215693, also known as St Tropaz, presents some accessibility challenges, especially when used as a background for text. Its relatively low lightness value (approximately 0.29) means that text rendered in black would have very poor contrast. To ensure readability, it's crucial to pair it with a light color for text. White or very light shades of yellow or green would provide sufficient contrast. Tools like WebAIM's contrast checker can be invaluable in verifying compliance with WCAG guidelines. Also, avoid using this color for small graphical elements or icons without a high-contrast border, as they might be difficult to discern for users with visual impairments. When used as a link color, it's essential to provide additional visual cues (like an underline or bolding) to differentiate it from regular text, catering to users with color vision deficiencies.
