Windsurfing
Also known as: Vallarta Blue, Phenomenon, National Anthem, Muted Blue
A lively blue with a calm and trustworthy character, Windsurfing works beautifully for corporate branding and SaaS products. Set it against a brown accent when you want the combination to pop. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (5.31:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Windsurfing works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- 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: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
