Not a bright navy, #6b7a98 is a dusty blue with heavy gray undertones and medium lightness. That very low saturation gives it a matte, ashy look, which suits supporting roles rather than hero moments. Black text reads clearly on it at about 4.9:1 contrast, so it passes AA behind body copy. Pair it with terracotta or warm tan accents to keep layouts from going flat.
