#710AAA

sRGB: 113 / 10 / 170

Wandering spirits dissolve into silence
Silent memories awaken beneath celestial skies
Brilliant stars illuminate hidden worlds

#710AAA belongs to the violet family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 113 red, 10 green and 170 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 278.6° lands in the violet region. Its 88.9% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 35.3% 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 (9.03:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #710AAA 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: 2.33:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

White text: 9.03:1

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.

Analogous

#210AAA and #AA0A93 sit 30° to either side of #710AAA. The three hues are neighbors on the wheel, so you can change the color of a border or highlight while keeping it close to the original.

#210AAA #710AAA #AA0A93

Triadic

#710AAA, #AA710A and #0AAA71 are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.
