General Information about Casal

The color #2E5F60, also known as Casal, is a dark, muted shade of green-cyan. It evokes feelings of tranquility, stability, and sophistication, making it a popular choice in design for creating a calming atmosphere. In color theory, it falls within the green-cyan range, which is often associated with nature, growth, and balance. This particular shade is created by combining specific proportions of red, green, and blue light, resulting in a hex code representation that is universally recognized across digital platforms. Its subtle hue makes it versatile for various applications, from web design to interior decor, providing a refined and understated aesthetic. Casal's balanced nature ensures it pairs well with both warm and cool color palettes, making it a reliable choice for designers seeking a sophisticated and harmonious look.

The hex color #2E5F60, also known as Casal, presents certain accessibility considerations for web developers. Its contrast ratio against white (#FFFFFF) is approximately 4.6:1, which meets the WCAG AA standard for normal text but falls short of the AAA standard. When used for smaller text, it's crucial to ensure sufficient contrast with the background to accommodate users with visual impairments. For larger text (14pt bold or 18pt regular), the contrast is generally acceptable. However, it is always best to test with accessibility evaluation tools to ensure compliance and optimal readability. Consider providing alternative color schemes or high-contrast options to enhance accessibility for a wider audience, including those with low vision or color deficiencies. Adequate color contrast is not just a matter of compliance but a key element of inclusive design, improving the user experience for everyone.
