While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). Its ink density profile breaks down to 0% cyan, 35% magenta, 47% yellow, and 51% black. With a hue angle of 14.5 degrees, it sits comfortably in the red spectrum.
When using this color as a background, text legibility must be considered. Because it is a dark color, it is generally recommended to use #FFFFFF text. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
