#434708 belongs to the yellow family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 67 red, 71 green and 8 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 63.8° lands in the yellow region. Its 79.7% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 15.5% on a scale from black (0%) to white (100%). Of black and white lettering, white has the clearer light-to-dark separation on this background (9.80:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #434708 in light and dark. The ratio compares relative luminance, a measure of light weighted for human vision. Identical colors give 1:1 and black against white gives 21:1. A ratio of 2.99:1 falls just below the 3:1 AA minimum for large text. Body text needs at least 4.5:1 because its finer strokes are harder to distinguish.

Black text: 2.14:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

White text: 9.80:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

AA and AAA are WCAG accessibility levels. AAA sets a higher bar: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Large text begins at 18 pt regular or 14 pt bold. Ratings use the unrounded ratio.

Deuteranopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from medium-wavelength cones, some greens can be difficult to distinguish from reds or browns.

#4D440E

Tritanopia

A blue–yellow color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from short-wavelength cones, blue can resemble green, and yellow can resemble pink.
