#00386C Hex Color

White text works best on #00386c, reaching about 11.8:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA requires for body text. Light tints of the color itself also hold up, but mid-tone blues will fail for small text.

Burgundy and muted brass both flatter #00386c, adding warmth that pure white or gray pairings lack. For a softer scheme, try desaturated teal or a dusty coral accent at around 10% of the palette.
