#00537B Hex Color

White text is the safest choice on #00537b, reaching about 8.3:1 contrast, well above the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1 for body text. Black text falls far short, so keep it off this shade.

Muted coral and pale sand lift this dark blue without fighting its low saturation, and burgundy makes it read richer than the usual gray pairing. Skip bright oranges, which overpower its dimmer character.
