Azure

Also known as: Brescian Blue, Bubble Bobble P2, Ceruleite, Clear Blue

Quietly steady and dependable, Azure is a cool-toned blue that earns its keep in finance apps and trust-driven interfaces. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a brown keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 5.48:1 on black clears AA.

Where Azure works

  • Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
  • Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
  • Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
  • Branding: The safest brand-primary family there is; differentiate with an unexpected accent.
  • Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
  • Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
