Hex color #131c28 graphic
Deep, inky, almost grey. #131c28 is a dark blue with muted, ashy undertones that sit just shy of charcoal. Its low saturation reads serious and grounded, which makes it a strong dominant base for dark mode UI, finance dashboards, and moody branding. White text reaches about 17.2:1 contrast on this hex code, well past WCAG AA for small body copy. Pair it with burgundy or warm amber so it reads as navy rather than muddy black.
