#0460C9 Hex Color
Saturated Blue, Built for Attention
Not a muted navy or a soft sky tone, #0460c9 is a saturated, vivid blue that stays bold at any size. The hex code works hardest as an accent: buttons, links, highlights, and calls to action. Its cool intensity balances well against warm ambers or terracotta, and white text reads clearly on top at about 6.0:1 contrast, enough for AA body copy. If you are mixing blue shades for a palette, this one sits closer to cobalt than navy.
