Hex color #4499f3 graphic
#4499f3 is a bright, saturated blue that reads energetic without losing the trust blue usually carries. Treat it as an accent or call-to-action color rather than a full background, where it can wash out beside white. It flatters deep navy and warm coral. Black text hits about 7.1:1 contrast on it, so small body text passes WCAG AA. When a layout needs a calmer neutral, mixing gray keeps this blue from competing with everything around it.
