#4E0ADD Hex Color
Electric Indigo for Moody Palettes
Not a muted navy, #4e0add is indigo pushed toward electric saturation. Its low lightness keeps it moody and cold, so it works best as a dominant base in dark mode UIs or night sky themes. White text clears WCAG AA easily on it, at roughly 8.7:1 contrast. It flatters burnt orange and amber accents but can read muddy against pure black.
