#231242 sits at 261° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 57% saturation and 16% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, deep tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 35, 18, 66 produces a 16.98:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #231242 is a distant relative of CSS navy — about 73 units away from #000080. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want weight, depth, and grounded contrast. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
