Loud indigo with a bright violet edge
Not a muted navy, #5052d3 is a loud, saturated indigo that leans cool with a bright violet edge. Its intensity suits accents, highlights, and calls to action more than full backgrounds. White text hits about 6.0:1 contrast on it, so small copy passes AA. Pair it with warm gold for punch, or use mixing gray tones when the palette feels too electric.
