#550959 sits at 297° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 82% saturation and 19% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, deep tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 85, 9, 89 produces a 13.38:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #550959 is a clear variant of CSS indigo — about 43 units away from #4B0082. Designers reach for magenta 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
