#7794AF Hex Color
Steady Ashy Blue With a Muted Edge
Dusty and mid-weight, this blue leans gray enough to feel steady rather than soft. #7794af works best as a supporting tone or UI background, where its muted character won’t compete with brighter accents. It pairs well with burgundy for contrast, or warm cream to soften the coolness. Black text passes AA against it at about 6.6:1, so small body copy stays readable. Use the hex code #7794af for finance, healthcare, or tech branding where a trustworthy feel matters.
