This cool, clear blue functions best as a dominant UI background. The high-saturation tone demands dark, bold typography, as black text provides a strong 9.0:1 contrast ratio against it. Because it is bright and youthful, avoid pairing it with equally neon shades. To tone down its vivid intensity, designers sometimes look at what colors make gray for balancing. The hex code for this blue is #77adef.
