Olympic Blue

#5a82b3

A medium, slightly grayed blue, Olympic Blue sits somewhere between cornflower and denim, cool and steady with almost no green in it. Pansy Purple pulls it into a deep, jewel-toned pairing, Jasper Red sets up a bold warm-cool contrast, and Seashell Pink softens it into something gentle and nostalgic. Its contrast on white lands at about 4.0:1, just under the mark for body text, so it is best for large type, icons and fills. It suits workwear-style textiles, bathroom walls and editorial illustration.
