#04507C Hex Color
Dark Navy with a Steady Weight
Navy with a muted, cool cast. The hex code #04507c sits dark and desaturated, so it reads steady rather than flashy, a fit for finance, government, and nautical branding. That low saturation comes from mixing gray into the base blue, which keeps it from clashing with brighter accents. Use it as a dominant base: white text reaches about 8.6:1 contrast, comfortably past WCAG AA.
