#55091B sits at 346° on the color wheel, placing it in the red family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 81% saturation and 18% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, deep tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 85, 9, 27 produces a 14.57:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #55091B is a clear variant of CSS maroon — about 52 units away from #800000. Designers reach for red 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 warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
