While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 14% C, 31% M, 0% Y, and 0% K. The HSL representation is 273.0° hue, 100.0% saturation, and 84.3% lightness.

When using this color as a background, text legibility must be considered. The calculated luminance score dictates that #000000 typography is the safest choice. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
