5555CC

5555CC is a six-digit hexadecimal color code used in digital design to specify a precise shade in the RGB color space. The code corresponds to the red, green, and blue components (85, 85, 204). Visually, it reads as a medium-dark blue with a subtle purplish tint, sitting firmly in the blue region of the color wheel.

Converting to other color models yields roughly RGB(85, 85, 204) and HSL approximately (240°, 54%, 57%). In sRGB, red and green values are equal, which gives the color its cool blue hue with moderate saturation.

In web design, #5555CC is used by applying it to color or background-color properties in CSS. Relative to white text, it provides a contrast ratio around 5.9:1, which meets WCAG AA-standards for normal text. Against black text, the contrast would be about 3.6:1, which is insufficient for normal body text; thus white or very light text is typically preferred on this color for legibility.

As a hex color, 5555CC is not a named CSS color and does not refer to a standard color name. It is, however, one of many hex values that can be used to reproduce a precise appearance in digital interfaces.
