#2B85B9 sits at 202° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 62% saturation and 45% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 43, 133, 185 produces a 5.16:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #2B85B9 is a clear variant of CSS steel blue — about 28 units away from #4682B4. Designers reach for azure hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
