#232DED Hex Color
Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
#232ded is a loud, electric blue with a violet lean. Its saturation runs high and its lightness low, so it reads bold and moody at once. White text clears WCAG AA on top (about 7.9:1 contrast), which makes the hex code a solid pick for buttons, links, and calls to action. As a full background it can overwhelm a layout, so treat it as an accent in the 10% of a palette.
