Hex color #264e7c graphic
#264e7c is a muted navy that sits between slate and denim, dark enough to carry a whole palette as a dominant base. Its low saturation reads serious rather than vivid, which suits finance, government, and moody interface design. White text hits about 8.5:1 contrast on it, so body copy stays readable. Pair it with warm rust or burgundy to keep the gray undertone from going flat.
