About #00AFF8
The precise color #00AFF8 is an excellent choice for modern design projects. It is closely associated with the named CSS color Deepskyblue. To achieve this exact tint on a monitor, you would use an RGB mix of 0, 175, and 248.
While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). The color uses 100% Cyan, 29% Magenta, 0% Yellow, and 3% Black. This makes it a relatively light color when applied to physical surfaces.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) dictate how we should use this color. Because it is a medium color, it is generally recommended to use #000000 text. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
