NOTE: The bright blue (CMYK) hex color code mentioned on this page is just an approximation. It has been calculated from the CMYK values. As you probably know, the CMYK color model is for print media while hex codes and the equivalent RGB values are for screen. The two can seldom be converted correctly. Additionally, bright blue color displayed on the screen through its hex code, may look very different when printed (by the CMYK values).
