#48AEEE sits at 203° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 83% saturation and 61% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, light tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 72, 174, 238 produces a 8.56:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #48AEEE is a clear variant of CSS turquoise — about 59 units away from #40E0D0. Designers reach for azure hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, 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.
