Exploring the Color #2D1050

#2D1050 sits at 267° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 67% saturation and 19% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, deep tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 45, 16, 80 produces a 16.13:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.

In RGB space #2D1050 is a distant relative of CSS indigo — about 60 units away from #4B0082. 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.
