#001d5b is a deep navy, dark and dim enough to read almost black at a glance. Its cold, muted character suits finance sites, government work, and moody interfaces. It works best as a dominant base, and white text hits about 15.8:1 contrast against it, well past AA. Pair it with burgundy for a richer feel than the usual camel or gray. Fine dark detail gets lost on top, so keep overlays simple.
