Not a bright royal blue, #2348a6 sits a few steps darker and duller, with a muted, navy-leaning character that reads steady and serious. That low lightness makes it a strong dominant base for finance, security, or government work, and white type clears WCAG AA on it at roughly 8.2:1 contrast. It flatters warm brass and muted grays (see what colors make gray) better than the usual camel pairings.
