Suggested color roles

secondary

Employ #4B7A9B for subheadings, descriptive text, or background elements that need to stand out gently from the deepest tones.

Apply #7CC6E3 for interactive elements, call-to-action buttons, or glowing highlights to draw attention and add dynamism.

background

Designate #0F1E2A as the main background color, providing a very dark, immersive canvas that enhances the glow of lighter elements.

Accessibility notes

  • Crucially, use very light text (like #C1EFFF or pure white) on dark backgrounds such as #0F1E2A and #2B4C60 to ensure legibility.
  • Check contrast ratios for any text placed on #4B7A9B; it might require lighter text than on the darkest blues.
  • Ensure interactive elements highlighted with #7CC6E3 maintain sufficient contrast against their background.
  • Avoid using #2B4C60 for text on #0F1E2A; choose a lighter, more contrasting color.
