Navy with a cool, muted cast. #074f7d is dark and desaturated, which keeps it steady but can read flat across big blocks. Use it as a dominant base in corporate, nautical, or finance layouts, where it looks richer next to burgundy or muted gold than beside plain neutrals. White text reaches about 8.7:1 contrast here, so small body copy stays readable.
