While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 71% C, 76% M, 0% Y, and 40% K. This makes it a relatively light color when applied to physical surfaces.

From a UX and accessibility standpoint, contrast is paramount. Because it is a dark color, it is generally recommended to use #FFFFFF text. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
