#779fb9 - Blue Nile color

A cool, mid-tone steel blue with subtle gray desaturation and a faint cyan leaning. It reads as calm and professional—less vibrant than pure sky blue, more muted and sophisticated—evoking overcast skies, coastal weathered paint, or corporate stationery. Versatile for backgrounds, interfaces, and branding, it pairs well with warm corals, soft beige, deep navy, or crisp white to add contrast. Overall it feels steady, composed, and slightly modern, balancing serenity with understated authority.
