While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 0% C, 68% M, 62% Y, and 3% K. The HSL representation is 354.6° hue, 92.3% saturation, and 64.3% lightness.
From a UX and accessibility standpoint, contrast is paramount. The calculated luminance score dictates that #000000 typography is the safest choice. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
