About #CCBDE9
Visually, #CCBDE9 is defined as a moderate purple. Designers often compare it to the standard color Thistle. In the RGB color space, it consists of 204 red, 189 green, and 233 blue.
While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). To reproduce this shade on paper, a printer utilizes 12% cyan and 19% magenta inks. This makes it a relatively light color when applied to physical surfaces.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) dictate how we should use this color. Because it is a very light color, it is generally recommended to use #000000 text. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
