#10AAF2 Hex Color
Loud, cool, impossible to ignore
Close to pool water on a sunny day, #10aaf2 is a loud, vivid azure with a cool edge. Its hex code sits deep in saturation, so it works best as an accent or call-to-action rather than a full background, where it can swamp a layout. Black text on it hits about 8.1:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA, and it looks sharper against charcoal or warm sand than against plain white.
