Burgundy warms up its cool depth for a rich, traditional palette, while amber gives it sharper contrast. Skip pure black, which flattens the navy instead of building on it.
Is #003e82 readable on white or black?
#003e82 has a 10.44:1 contrast ratio on white and 2.01:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it is too faint for text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
