#201A47 Hex Color
Sophisticated deep indigo with matte intensity
This desaturated, deep indigo functions as a sophisticated alternative to pure black. Because of its dark, matte intensity, #201a47 provides an excellent high-contrast base for white typography in web interfaces. It anchors corporate or formal designs with a sense of authority. When used in backgrounds, keep text sizes large to maintain legibility, as the heavy pigment can sometimes look muddy against thin, lighter lines.

Is #201a47 considered a warm or cool color?

#201a47 has a 16.15:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.30:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it is too faint for text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
