#242C6E sits at 234° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 51% saturation and 29% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 36, 44, 110 produces a 12.65:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #242C6E is a clear variant of CSS navy — about 60 units away from #000080. Designers reach for blue 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.
