#166C9E sits at 202° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 76% saturation and 35% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 22, 108, 158 produces a 5.72:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #166C9E is a clear variant of CSS teal — about 42 units away from #008080. Designers reach for azure hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
