Deep Indigo

#051230

Deep Indigo is almost black, a dense navy with the faintest violet tint, like the sky an hour after sunset. It works as a dark ground for warmer and lighter colors. Grenadine Pink glows against it in coral, Salvia Blue creates a soft tonal blue pairing, and Benzol Green adds a jewel-like teal flash. At about 18.5:1 on white it reads as black for text, and it is too dark for anything on black. It suits velvet sofas, denim, and the background of a night-themed poster.
