Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize #0A2E3D (Dark Teal) as the deepest, most authoritative color, perfect for brand identity, main headings, or critical calls to action.

secondary

Apply #1B4A5D (Deep Sea Blue) as a strong, supportive blue for subheadings, navigation, or larger content blocks, adding depth.

accent

Employ #3B6F7F (Cadet Blue) as a versatile mid-tone blue, ideal for interactive elements, icons, or subtle highlights that need emphasis.

background

The lightest shade, #9DCED4 (Light Sea Green), provides a cool, clear canvas, especially effective with dark text for optimal readability.

text

White or a very light grey (e.g., #F0F8FF) is crucial for readability against the dark blues, while #0A2E3D can be used on light backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure light text (white/light grey) on #0A2E3D, #1B4A5D, and #3B6F7F meets WCAG AA/AAA contrast.
  • When using #6AA0A9 or #9DCED4 for text, ensure it is on a sufficiently dark background, or use a darker text color for legibility.
  • Interactive elements should have clear visual feedback for states, such as a border or a subtle color shift on hover/focus.
  • Avoid using lighter palette colors on each other for text to prevent low contrast issues and ensure accessibility.
