Violet Blue
#40456a
A dark, dusky blue with a faint violet tinge and modest saturation, Violet Blue looks like twilight just after the sun has gone. Yellow Orange lights it up with a warm lamp-like glow, Pale King's Blue builds a soft tonal scheme, and Olive Buff gives it a dry, muted companion that feels earthy. Its contrast against white is about 9.2:1, so it can carry text at any size, and it makes a gentler alternative to navy. Try it in denim, evening stationery or a bedroom wall.
