#0E094F Hex Color
A deep and authoritative nearly black indigo
This nearly black indigo carries a heavy, serious weight, perfect for creating formal or moody brand identities. Because it sits so dark on the spectrum, white text pops against it with excellent readability. Use #0e094f as a dominant background color in dark mode interfaces to convey authority and structure, but pair it with soft metallic accents to prevent the overall design from feeling too cold or flat.

Is #0e094f suitable for text on a dark background?
Avoid using #0e094f as a background for standard body text, as it is nearly black and will swallow the content. Instead, use this shade as the background itself, ensuring your white or light-toned text meets WCAG contrast requirements for maximum readability.
Is #0e094f readable on white or black?
#0e094f has a 17.93:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.17:1 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.
