#00011e is an almost black shade with a faint navy undertone, so dark it reads like ink. Its very low lightness and muted saturation give it a somber, serious character. Designers reach for the hex code as a dark mode background or a luxury base, since white text hits roughly 20.5:1 contrast. Pair it with burgundy or brass so it feels deliberate rather than flat.
