Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

trustedcalmcompetentcorporate

The default of institutions for a reason: blue is read as stable and safe across nearly every culture that has been surveyed.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

It is also the most crowded hue on the web. Distinctiveness has to come from your other choices.

Bottom row of hexes is the flattened result over white — use those when a design tool refuses transparency, or when you need a solid fallback.

On screens

Very dark values collapse into each other on cheap panels — leave more lightness between your darkest steps than the numbers suggest.

#07366a, answered

What color is #07366a?

#07366a is a deep electric blue, closest to Dark Slate Blue (ΔE2000 11.5). It sits at 212° on the hue wheel with 88% saturation and 22% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #07366a?

rgb(7, 54, 106) — 7 red, 54 green and 106 blue out of 255, or 2.7% / 21.2% / 41.6% by channel.

What is #07366a in HSL and HSV?

hsl(212, 88%, 22%) and hsv(212, 93%, 42%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #07366a a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0372 and perceived brightness is 22%, so white text on it reaches 12.04:1.

Should I use black or white text on #07366a?

White. It scores 12.04:1 against #07366a, versus 1.74:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #07366a accessible on a white background?

#07366a on white scores 12.04:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #07366a?

#6A3B07 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #6A0907 and #686A07, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #07366a?

For interface work: #F4F7FA as the surface, #C0D5ED for borders, #4B719B for secondary text, #6C2105 as an accent and #083D78 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #07686A and #09076A stays calm, while #6A3B07 is the loudest partner.

What is #07366a in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(93%, 49%, 0%, 58%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #07366a warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 99 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #07126A; nudged cooler, #052A53.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #07366a?

The slate family — its 500 step is #64748b, ΔE2000 22.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #07366a as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #07366a in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#07366a] or text-[#07366a], or register the whole ramp under theme.extend.colors.brand so you get bg-brand-500 and friends. The generated 50–950 scale on this page is ready to paste into your config.

What is #07366a with 50% opacity?

rgba(7, 54, 106, 0.5), or #07366a80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #839BB5; over black, #041B35.

Is #07366a a web-safe color?
