#5D76CB
Crayola color
Overview
Indigo in the Crayola range is a soft, medium blue-violet: rgb(93, 118, 203), hex #5D76CB. Moderate red, higher green, and a strong blue place it at 226 degrees on the hue wheel at medium saturation and high brightness — lighter and less intense than the deep CSS indigo. It is one of the colors in the Crayola crayon lineup. Against the web palette's dark #4B0082, the Crayola version reads as a gentler periwinkle-leaning blue, mixed for a bright, even pigment tone rather than a saturated dark hue. Far lighter than the deep #4B0082 of the CSS indigo, the crayon version reads as an approachable periwinkle blue, balanced for even, bright coverage rather than depth.
Indigo (#5D76CB) in the Crayola set is a medium, bright blue-purple, considerably lighter and more vibrant than the CSS indigo. It captures the expressive, creative energy associated with indigo in art education—a lively blue-purple that children instinctively reach for when coloring deep skies and mystical settings. It suits creative and artistic brand applications.
