Suggested color roles

primary

#1C263B - A deep, authoritative blue, excellent for main headings, primary CTAs, or brand identity. It's dark enough to feel substantial but lighter than the background.

secondary

#3B4A6B - A versatile mid-tone blue-gray, perfect for secondary elements, subheadings, or active states that need to stand out against the primary.

accent

#A2B9CE - A soft, cool light blue, best used sparingly for subtle highlights, interactive elements, or key details that require a gentle pop on dark backgrounds.

background

#0A0A0F - The deepest, near-black shade, ideal for immersive dark mode backgrounds, creating a vast, infinite canvas for content.

text

#A2B9CE - A light, readable color for primary body text on dark backgrounds like #0A0A0F or #1C263B, ensuring excellent contrast and a gentle appearance.

Accessibility notes

Ensure #A2B9CE text on #0A0A0F or #1C263B backgrounds meets WCAG AA or AAA contrast standards for readability.
Use #6D82A5 or #3B4A6B for secondary text on the darkest backgrounds, but verify contrast carefully.
Avoid using #0A0A0F or #1C263B as text colors on similarly dark backgrounds as contrast will be insufficient.
For interactive elements, ensure sufficient color contrast for states (e.g., hover, focus) even within the dark palette.

Recommended combinations
