Marina
Also known as: Berlin Blue, Danube, Havelock Blue, Astro Nautico
Part of the blue family, Marina pairs a medium base with a steady and dependable presence — ideal for finance apps and trust-driven interfaces. Match it with orange accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.79:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Marina works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
