#AC0C17 sits at 356° on the color wheel, placing it in the red family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 87% saturation and 36% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, shadowed tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 172, 12, 23 produces a 7.45:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #AC0C17 is a clear variant of CSS firebrick — about 25 units away from #B22222. Designers reach for red hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
