Hex color #22ade8 graphic
#22ade8 is a vivid, sky-leaning blue with high saturation and no murk to it. That energy suits links, buttons, and small accents in tech or healthcare interfaces more than full backgrounds, where it can wash out next to white. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy to ground it. Black text clears contrast requirements on this hex code, so labels and fine print stay readable.
