Protoss Pylon
A piercing, high-chroma electric azure

Protoss Pylon is a piercing, high-chroma azure that demands immediate visual attention. Because it is so saturated, this shade functions best as an accent color for calls to action or UI highlights rather than a full background. Black text provides excellent legibility against this hue. For a balanced design, pair #00aaff with muted charcoals to temper its intense, electric energy.
