#455C94 Hex Color

#455c94 pairs well with white and pale blue-gray for a clean, quiet palette, while muted gold or sage accents add warmth without overpowering its dusty blue character, particularly in interface and branding work.

#455c94 has about a 6.5:1 contrast ratio with white, so white text meets WCAG AA for normal body copy; black text reaches only about 3.3:1 and is less suitable for small type.

#455c94 reads as a cool blue because its medium-dark base is softened by gray undertones rather than warm red or yellow notes, especially beside neutral whites and grays in a palette. Its low saturation gives interfaces a composed, dependable feel.
