Not a crisp sky blue, #4b6c7b is a dusty slate cyan with a heavy dose of gray. Its low saturation and dark base read ashy and understated, closer to a foggy horizon than open water. That restraint makes the hex code #4b6c7b a solid supporting tone or UI background, and white text clears AA contrast on it at 5.6:1. It looks richest next to a warm accent like terracotta.
