While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 60% C, 20% M, 0% Y, and 14% K. Always request a physical proof before doing a large print run with this exact code.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) dictate how we should use this color. The calculated luminance score dictates that #000000 typography is the safest choice. Always test your color combinations using a contrast checker before publishing.
