#280950 sits at 266° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 80% saturation and 17% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, deep tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 40, 9, 80 produces a 16.87:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #280950 is a distant relative of CSS indigo — about 62 units away from #4B0082. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, 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.
