About this color
Blue sits at 237° on the color wheel with 92% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the blue segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 92%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.
In digital environments, Blue is rendered as rgb(10, 22, 245), where the blue channel is highest at 245, producing a strongly blue character. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.
For print, Blue translates to a CMYK breakdown of 96C 91M 0Y 4K. With almost no black ink (4%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 96% cyan, 91% magenta. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
