Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize #1A3755 as the foundational dark blue for robust headers, footers, or primary navigation, grounding the design.

secondary

Employ #2E4C6D for key content areas, subheadings, or prominent buttons, providing a strong, elegant presence.

accent

Apply #7AA1C9 sparingly for interactive elements, calls-to-action, or highlight states, offering a bright, inviting contrast.

background

A very light grey or off-white works best. Alternatively, a soft, desaturated version of #618FB4 could provide a subtle, themed background.

For dark backgrounds, use white or a very light grey. On light backgrounds, #1A3755 or #2E4C6D ensures excellent readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #1A3755 or #2E4C6D provides sufficient contrast against white or light backgrounds for body text.
  • The lighter #7AA1C9 should primarily be used as an accent on darker blues; avoid using it for small text on mid-tones.
  • Test contrast between all text and background pairings, especially when using #618FB4.
  • Consider using a slightly desaturated white for text on #1A3755 to reduce eye strain in large blocks.
