#505a92 - Whale Skin color

Deep, muted indigo with cool, steel-blue character and soft violet undertones. It reads as a refined slate hue—less saturated than pure navy yet richer and moodier than typical periwinkle. It feels calm, sophisticated, and slightly nostalgic, like twilight over an industrial skyline or faded denim. Works well as a grounding backdrop or accent in modern palettes, pairing beautifully with warm corals, pale creams, or brass accents to add contrast, depth, and understated elegance.
