About #166DD3
When working with digital screens, the color #166DD3 is rendered by mixing light. Designers often compare it to the standard color Royalblue. Its digital footprint relies on 22 parts red, 109 parts green, and 211 parts blue light.
While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 90% C, 48% M, 0% Y, and 17% K. This makes it a relatively light color when applied to physical surfaces.
When using this color as a background, text legibility must be considered. Mathematical luminance calculations suggest that #FFFFFF text provides the most optimal reading experience. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
