#00AFF0 Hex Color
A high-energy neon blue that pops
#00aff0 is a highly saturated, neon blue that demands attention. Because it is so vivid, it works best as an accent color for UI buttons or alert states rather than a large background. It pairs exceptionally well with charcoal grays and off-white neutrals. If you are learning how to make blue, remember that this hex code provides enough contrast for black text to remain fully legible.
