#55B5F1 sits at 203° on the color wheel, placing it in the azure family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 85% saturation and 64% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, light tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 85, 181, 241 produces a 9.27:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #55B5F1 is a clear variant of CSS sky blue — about 56 units away from #87CEEB. 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.
