While screens use RGB, printing presses rely on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). This specific hue requires a mix of 0% C, 10% M, 85% Y, and 23% K. The HSL representation is 52.8° hue, 74.2% saturation, and 44.1% lightness.
Ensuring your text is legible against this background is a key part of web design. Because it is a medium color, it is generally recommended to use #000000 text. Strict adherence to these ratios protects visually impaired users from unreadable interfaces.
