Deep Water Navy for Serious Palettes
Closer to deep sea water than classic navy, this blue is dark, muted, and cool. Its hex code is #0c455f. Grayed undertones keep it subdued rather than bright, which gives layouts a steady, serious mood. Use it as a dominant base in finance or corporate design; white text reads at about 10.3:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. For an unexpected pairing, add burnt orange accents.
