Epic Blue
Also known as: Old Gungeon Red, Bright Blue, Blue Ribbon, Blue Ruin
Epic Blue sits on the cool side of the spectrum: a vivid blue that feels calm and trustworthy. Try it in SaaS products and finance apps. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a brown keeps a palette from feeling one-note. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.08:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Epic Blue works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: Sits in the trust register — a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
