Accessibility notes

  • Always pair these dark blues with white or very light text to ensure adequate contrast for readability.
  • Avoid using any of the darker blues for text on other dark blues; contrast will be insufficient.
  • Ensure interactive elements have clear visual states (hover, active) beyond color, as shades can be subtle.
  • The vibrant #0000FF should be carefully tested for contrast, especially when used for small text on slightly lighter blues.
