secondary

#004C4C - Use this dark cyan for supporting elements, adding subtle depth and a touch of the underwater world without competing with the primary.

#DAA520 - The bright goldenrod serves as a powerful accent, ideal for calls-to-action, key icons, or highlights, drawing attention with its treasure-like glow.

background

#000080 - This deep navy works as a primary background, creating a dark, immersive canvas. For lighter content, consider using a lighter shade or white text.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #DAA520 text has sufficient contrast against #000080 or #004C4C backgrounds.
  • Avoid placing #006666 text on #004C4C, as contrast will be poor.
  • Use white or a very light color for body text on dark blues/greens for optimal readability.
