Storm-cloud gray with a blue base, #445f7b sits dark and heavily muted on the spectrum. It reads dependable rather than bold, which suits finance, healthcare, and government work better than loud marketing. White text hits about 6.6:1 contrast, so small body copy stays readable on top. Keep it as a base or supporting tone, and pair it with burgundy or ochre to stop it going flat.
