About #3A5FBD

The hex code #3A5FBD represents a beautifully specific shade of blue. Designers often compare it to the standard color Royalblue. Its digital footprint relies on 58 parts red, 95 parts green, and 189 parts blue light.

While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). To reproduce this shade on paper, a printer utilizes 69% cyan and 50% magenta inks. Always request a physical proof before doing a large print run with this exact code.

When using this color as a background, text legibility must be considered. Because it is a medium color, it is generally recommended to use #FFFFFF text. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
