A dusty blue closer to faded denim than a clear sky. #4b7485 carries almost no saturation, so it reads matte and understated instead of cheerful. That restraint makes it a solid base for UI panels, tech branding, and supporting tones in a 60/30/10 scheme. It can look washed out next to pure white, so warm it up with sand or soft coral.
