Suggested color roles

primary

#000080 (Navy Blue) - The anchoring color, perfect for main navigation, footers, or powerful brand statements, conveying depth and authority.

secondary

#4682B4 (Steel Blue) - Excellent for sub-sections, background panels, or larger content areas, offering a solid yet less imposing presence.

accent

#B0E0E6 (Powder Blue) - Use for subtle highlights, interactive elements, or delicate graphic details to add a touch of icy sparkle.

background

#E0FFFF (Light Cyan) - A very light background that provides a pristine canvas, ensuring maximum contrast for darker text and an open feel.

text

For primary text, a crisp white or light gray on darker backgrounds works well. For lighter backgrounds, a dark charcoal like #333333 or #000080 is ideal.

Accessibility notes

  • #000080 and #4682B4 provide excellent contrast against #E0FFFF for all text sizes.
  • #ADD8E6 and #B0E0E6 should not be used for small text on #E0FFFF due to insufficient contrast.
  • Ensure interactive elements are clearly identifiable, especially when using similar light blues.
  • Consider using a contrasting border or shadow for elements in lighter blues against a light background.
