How to use #738FF2 in design

Practical guidance for using #738ff2 (#738FF2) across four design contexts, derived from its hue, lightness, saturation, and WCAG contrast.

Web & UI design

Branding & identity

As a brand color, #738FF2 (#738FF2) reads as high-energy and confident and approachable and modern. It fits naturally into tech, finance, healthcare, productivity tools (the safe brand-color default). Use it as the primary identity color and pair with one neutral (white, off-white, or near-black). Test legibility on both your logo and small UI text before locking it in — saturation that works on a 200px logo can feel overpowering at favicon scale.

Fashion & apparel

#738FF2 flatters cool-leaning skin tones (pink, rosy, blue undertones) and works best in autumn/winter collections. Pair it with cool neutrals (charcoal, slate, off-white, black) and it works as a sophisticated alternative to navy. Pale cool tones flatter most skin types in good light — a safe choice for office wear and weddings.

Interior design

#738FF2 is best used as a single accent wall, ceiling stripe, or feature piece (cabinetry, tile, an upholstered headboard) — at this saturation a full room can feel overwhelming. Pair with crisp white trim and one warm-wood tone to ground the energy.
