Ravenclaw
Also known as: Alucard’s Night, Abyssal Blue, Scoop of Dark Matter, Prussian Nights
Part of the blue family, Ravenclaw pairs a deep base with a calm and trustworthy presence — ideal for trust-driven interfaces and corporate branding. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a black keeps a palette from feeling one-note. On white it reads clearly at 18.01:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.
