General Information about #2C2930

The hex color code #2C2930 represents a dark, muted shade commonly referred to as Baltic Sea. It belongs to the family of dark grays and possesses a subtle coolness. This color is often utilized in design to convey a sense of sophistication, depth, and modernity. Its relative neutrality allows it to serve as a versatile backdrop or accent color, capable of blending seamlessly into various color schemes.

The hex color #2C2930, often referred to as Baltic Sea, presents accessibility challenges due to its dark nature. When used as a background color, sufficient contrast with text is crucial for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. A light text color, such as white or a very pale yellow, is recommended to ensure a contrast ratio that meets WCAG guidelines (ideally 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text). Without adequate contrast, content may be difficult or impossible for some users to perceive. In user interface design, consider using this color sparingly for decorative elements or backgrounds of non-essential components. For interactive elements, ensure sufficient visual cues beyond color alone, such as borders or icons, to accommodate users with color blindness. Thorough testing with accessibility evaluation tools is highly advisable to identify and rectify any potential issues.
