#3E72AD Hex Color
Muted blue with a steady hand
A muted, medium-dark blue with a gray cast, #3e72ad reads steady rather than flashy. That low saturation makes it a solid dominant base for finance, healthcare, or government branding, and it flatters burgundy better than the usual camel or tan. White text hits about 5.0:1 contrast on it, so small copy stays readable. The hex code for this shade of blue is #3e72ad.
