Faded denim with a purple cast. #4b5caa sits between blue and indigo, muted enough to read serious rather than playful. That cool, restrained quality suits night-sky themes, meditation branding, and dark UI backgrounds. White text passes contrast checks on it, so the hex code works well as a base for body copy. Pair it with burgundy or mustard for a richer palette than navy-plus-gray.
