In digital environments, Dark Blue is rendered as rgb(16, 19, 188), where the blue channel is highest at 188, producing a strongly blue character. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.

For print, Dark Blue translates to a CMYK breakdown of 91C 90M 0Y 26K. With a moderate key (26%), this color uses black to deepen the chromatic channels rather than replace them, a profile that typically holds up well in both offset and digital print.
