General Information about #2E0D07

The hex color #2E0D07, often referred to as "Wood Bark", is a deep and subdued shade of brown. It belongs to the family of earth tones and evokes feelings of nature, stability, and warmth. This color is created by combining a low amount of red with even lower amounts of green and blue, resulting in its dark and muted appearance. In the RGB color model, it consists of 18.04% red, 5.1% green, and 2.75% blue. This combination results in a color that simulates the natural tones found in tree bark and soil. Colors like these are often used to create a sense of groundedness and connection to the earth. The color is part of the larger brown family and can be thought of as one of the darker, less saturated versions of red.

The color #2E0D07, a deep, muted brown, presents considerable accessibility challenges, especially in web design. Its low luminance value means that text rendered in this color requires very light backgrounds to ensure sufficient contrast for readability. According to WCAG guidelines, a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for standard text and 3:1 for large text. Using #2E0D07 on darker backgrounds would make the content nearly invisible, severely impacting users with visual impairments. Designers must carefully choose foreground and background color combinations to meet accessibility standards, possibly opting for lighter tints or shades of brown to improve contrast and readability, or pairing it with a contrasting color. Thoroughly testing color combinations with accessibility tools is crucial to ensure inclusivity.
