A muted, steady blue with gray undertones, built more for work than for show. #328cb5 sits far enough from vivid sky blue that it reads dependable rather than playful, which suits finance, healthcare and tech branding. It holds up as a UI background or mid-weight base, and black text clears WCAG AA on it at about 5.6:1. Pairs well with warm rust or terracotta accents.
