What colors pair well with #000c0c?

Is #000c0c suitable for text and backgrounds?
Yes. #000c0c works especially well as a background because white text reaches about 19.9:1 contrast, exceeding the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for body text. Test colored text separately, since dark saturated accents may lose clarity.
Is #000c0c readable on white or black?
#000c0c has a 19.85:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.05:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it is too faint for text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
