#07100c is a near-black, ashy teal that offers a sophisticated alternative to pure black.

Use it to anchor moody layouts, but be careful with pairings, as its dusty undertones can look muddy next to vibrant, warm colors.

Why does #07100c look muddy next to warm colors?
Because #07100c contains cool, dusty teal undertones, placing it directly beside vibrant warm hues creates a clash that muddies the perception of both colors. Avoid high-saturation oranges or reds to maintain the sleek, near-black appearance of this specific shade.
Is #07100c a good choice for text-heavy UI backgrounds?
Yes, #07100c serves as an excellent, softer alternative to pure black for background surfaces. It offers sufficient contrast against white or light gray typography while reducing eye strain, providing a premium, intentional feel to dark mode designs that pure black often lacks.
Is #07100c readable on white or black?
#07100c has a 19.29:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.08:1 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.
