Not a vivid azure. The hex code #6c89d1 is a muted, medium blue with soft gray undertones, reading steady and dependable instead of bold. That restraint suits finance, tech, and healthcare branding, where trust matters more than flash. Treat it as a dominant base or supporting tone; it can wash out beside white. Black text reads at about 6.1:1 contrast, so small type stays legible.
