Hyperlink Blue
A high-intensity, unmistakable electric blue shade
Hyperlink Blue is a high-saturation, vivid blue that demands attention. Because it is so intense, it works best as a primary accent or an interactive element rather than a large background. White text sits perfectly on top of it, achieving a 9.4:1 contrast ratio that ensures great readability. Designers often use this shade, identified by the hex code #0000ee, for digital buttons and functional UI components.
