Notes
Dodger Blue is a bright mid-blue named after the baseball franchise rather than the artful pedestrian. The CSS hex sits between Sky Blue and Royal Blue, vivid enough to feel modern but desaturated enough to avoid the dated feel of pure web-safe blue. It became one of the standard primary action colors of the 2010s, appearing in early Twitter, Trello, and a long list of SaaS dashboards. Pair with charcoal type and cream surfaces for a friendly tech palette. Body text contrast against white falls below AA at body sizes, so keep text use to headlines and rely on dark overlays for button surfaces.
