Helvetia Blue

#005b8d

Deep, saturated ocean blue with a slight green cast, Helvetia Blue is darker and denser than plain Blue, like ink pooled in a bottle. Carmine makes a bright, slightly patriotic contrast, Rosolanc Purple gives a rich jewel-box effect, and Pinkish Cinnamon warms it with a soft peachy tone. With roughly 7.3:1 against white it can carry any text size, while on black it falls to about 2.9:1 and should not be used for type. It works for workwear, nautical stationery and painted kitchen cabinets.
