About #2C5FA0

While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). To reproduce this shade on paper, a printer utilizes 72% cyan and 41% magenta inks. This makes it a relatively light color when applied to physical surfaces.
From a UX and accessibility standpoint, contrast is paramount. Mathematical luminance calculations suggest that #FFFFFF text provides the most optimal reading experience. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
