Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize #0A1B2A as the foundational deep indigo for headers, footers, or large content blocks, conveying stability and depth.

secondary

Employ #1B3C4F for secondary navigation, subheadings, or important content panels, maintaining a strong, cohesive visual.

accent

Apply #6A9BC0 or the very light #D2E0E7 sparingly for interactive elements, calls-to-action, or highlight states, offering a luminous contrast.

background

The lightest shade, #D2E0E7, or a crisp white, works beautifully as a clean background. A subtle gradient using #6A9BC0 could also be effective.

text

On lighter backgrounds, #0A1B2A provides excellent readability. On darker blues, pure white or the very light #D2E0E7 ensures clarity.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #0A1B2A and #1B3C4F have sufficient contrast against #D2E0E7 or white for body text.
  • Avoid using #6A9BC0 for small text on mid-tone blues like #3A698F due to potential contrast issues.
  • Always check contrast ratios for text over #3A698F, especially if the text color is also a mid-tone.
  • For interactive elements using #D2E0E7, ensure they have sufficient visual distinction from non-interactive content.
