Don’t expect vivid cyan. #5296aa is a dusty, ashy blue with gray undertones that keep it cool and settled. Its low saturation makes it a solid supporting tone in tech and aerospace branding, though it can turn muddy in large flat areas. Black text passes WCAG AA on it, and a muted coral pairing stops it from reading flat.
