Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #8c112e?
Dusty rose, soft gold, and warm cream all flatter #8c112e without competing with its depth. For sharper contrast, try muted sage or a pale slate blue. Avoid bright saturated reds nearby, since they make the maroon look muddy.
Is white text readable on #8c112e?
Yes. White text on #8c112e reaches about 9.4:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA requires for body text. Dark gray text fails here, so keep type light when this maroon is the background.
