Why is #0e1a2b better for UI design than pure black?

What colors pair best with #0e1a2b for UI accents?
Because #0e1a2b acts as a neutral near-black, it pairs beautifully with high-saturation pops of color like electric blue or soft off-white text. Avoid warm earth tones, which can muddy the cool, serious atmosphere of this particular shade.
Is #0e1a2b readable on white or black?
#0e1a2b has a 17.48:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.20:1 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.
