Using this palette

Modeled specifically on hand-painted blue-and-white ceramics rather than any natural scene — #0047AB is true cobalt pigment blue, a genuinely specific and historic color (the same family used in Delft and willow-pattern pottery for centuries), paired against a warm porcelain cream rather than a cool gray-white, since fired porcelain glaze reads warmer than paper white. #0047AB clears AAA against both the cream and pure white. Suits kitchen/homeware, ceramics, or classic/heritage branding wanting a single confident blue rather than a full blue tonal ramp like indigo-night or cobalt's cooler cousin, arctic-blue.
