Azure in HSL
HSL is an acronym which stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. HSL was developed for television and standardized for computer displays.
Hue is the perceived color name. Saturation is the "colorfulness" relative to the color's brightness. Brightness is our human eye's quantifed perception of the spectral light distribution. Lightness is the color brightness relative to a perceived similarly illuminated white.
Brightness and "colorfulness" are absolute measures, while Lightness and and Saturation are relative measures.
Azure is 210deg, 100%, 50% HSL.
- Hue: 210deg
- Saturation: 100%
- Light: 50%
Azure color in CMYK color model
The CMYK color model is commonly used in printing. The CMYK acronym stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key. Where key is black. Since the black color is the absence of light, the CMYK is a subtractive color model. White light minus red is cyan, minus green is magenta, minus blue is yellow.
Azure is 100% 50% 0% 0% CMYK.
- Cyan: 100%

Accessibility tips when using the color Azure
Ensure your content remains available to the broadest possible audience. Make sure the text color has enough contrast with its background. When using Azure on text, we recommend you use black for the background.
The reason Azure contrasts better with a black background is because Azure has a degree of brightness of 50% which provides better contrast on a dark background.

At ourpastimes.com, we are a creative team of product designers, engineers, and data scientists who want to make the internet a better place. We have poured over color theory, the math is tougher than you think, and built a showcase for color combinations.
We started by building a great virtual color mixer. We hope everyone has seen a color wheel. Personally, I loved the color wheel in my art classroom growing up. The acrylic paints like Titanium White, Burnt sienna, Dioxazine Purple make combining colors visceral and our color mixer virtually offers that visceral feeling of color mixing paints. Use our color mixer to build your next color scheme!
The color wheel pickers showcase 12 main colors. The three primary colors are red, green, and blue. When combined together, the primary colors create pure white light. Secondary colors result from mixing two primary colors:
- Red and Green make Yellow.
- Green and Blue make Cyan.
- Blue and Red make Magenta .
Combining a secondary color and a primary color yields tertiary colors. There are six tertiary colors. The six color names are orange, chartreuse green, spring green, azure, violet and rose. Colors continue to expand, for example, halfway between blue and violet is indigo, color code #4B0082, and violet is halfway between blue and purple.
So, the color wheel includes twelve main colors: red, orange, yellow, chartreuse green, green, spring green, cyan, azure, blue, violet, magenta, and rose.
But how do you mix paint color? To mix acrylic paint to make gold you mix in a small quantity of brown paint (approximately one part brown to 10 parts yellow). Our color mixer is expert at mixing color by parts. Adjust the color levels with an easy toggle and we handle the math to generate the resulting hex code, RGB and HSL.
Included in our color pages are color palettes, we generate color combinations between three and six colors. We call each different color mixture “palette variances.” Each color palette variance includes eighteen color mixes with HEX code displayed.
A third component we provide on this page is color shades. For example, shades of Azure include Too Blue To Be True, Bright Blue, Blue Ribbon, Rare Blue, Blue (Ryb), Magic Ink, Hawaii Morning, Capri, Deep Sky Blue, C64 Blue, Vivid Sky Blue, and Tropical Turquoise. We offer nine tints and shades for each color. A color shade is found by adjusting the color saturation to find a darker hue. A color tint is a lighter color. For example, pink is a tint of red.
