#272657 sits at 241° on the color wheel, placing it in the blue family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 39% saturation and 25% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 39, 38, 87 produces a 13.99:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #272657 is a distant relative of CSS indigo — about 68 units away from #4B0082. 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.
