Hex color #2d46d8 graphic
Forget the usual navy. #2d46d8 is a saturated, dark-leaning blue with a violet edge, loud enough for calls to action yet moody enough for dark interfaces. Its strong contrast makes white text pass AA at about 7.0:1, so it works behind small body copy. Pair it with warm amber or burgundy instead of predictable grays, and browse similar blue shades for a fuller palette.
