Hex color #0f53e6 graphic
Not a quiet navy or a washed pastel, this saturated blue is loud and beaming, with a cool electric edge. The hex code #0f53e6 works best as an accent for buttons, links, and calls to action rather than a full background, where its intensity tires the eye. White text reads clearly on it at about 6.2:1 contrast, enough for AA body copy. It pairs well with warm coral or amber.
