About #A0002C

At its core, #A0002C is a dark and vivid hue. It is closely associated with the named CSS color Brown. To achieve this exact tint on a monitor, you would use an RGB mix of 160, 0, and 44.

While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). The color uses 0% Cyan, 100% Magenta, 72% Yellow, and 37% Black. Always request a physical proof before doing a large print run with this exact code.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) dictate how we should use this color. Mathematical luminance calculations suggest that #FFFFFF text provides the most optimal reading experience. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
