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

Pair it with cool neutrals (charcoal, slate, off-white, black) and it works as a sophisticated alternative to navy. Deep cool tones photograph richly under indoor light and read as quiet luxury — strong choice for eveningwear.

Interior design
