What colors pair well with #14000b?

Is #14000b a good choice for dark mode backgrounds?
Yes. With white text at about 20.3:1 contrast, #14000b far exceeds WCAG AA requirements for body text. Its plum undertone also keeps large dark areas from reading as flat as pure black.
Is #14000b readable on white or black?
#14000b has a 20.29:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.03:1 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.
