Orange Buoys on Cobalt Water

[Color guide — coloring.today / orange-buoys-on-cobalt-water]
Apply this palette to the design requested above. Preserve the requested layout, content, and interactions. If an explicit requirement conflicts with this color guide, identify the conflict instead of silently overriding it.

Text: Harbor Ink #161A24
Primary: Cobalt Water #244ED8
Highlight: Buoy Orange #FF6A24
Accent: Apricot Reflection #FFAE72
Background: Blue Haze #DCE5F4

Mood: Saturated blue and orange. A crisp, energetic focal point.
Suggested uses: Travel services
Application note: Use the blue-tinted background for a route overview and cobalt for a large map illustration. Put orange on the selected destination marker and apricot in secondary route graphics.
Avoid: Do not run small dark labels directly across cobalt map areas. Keep route text on the pale background and distinguish routes by labels as well as color. Harbor Ink on Cobalt Water measures 2.61:1 and is unsuitable for small text.
Use approximately 55% background, 35% primary, and 10% highlight across large surfaces. These ratios are a starting point, not a rigid rule. Use text and accent colors according to their roles.

Keep the original HEX values. Choose readable text/background pairings without silently changing the palette. Do not introduce unrelated colors.

Background is the canvas, text is readable copy, primary is a key surface, highlight draws attention, and accent adds small secondary details.

Text/background contrast: 13.71:1. This is one measured pair, not a guarantee for the whole palette. Check every actual text/background pairing against WCAG AA. Prefer readable combinations from the original colors, keep visible keyboard focus, and never communicate state through color alone. If no original pairing meets the requirement, propose a separately labeled derived color with its original HEX, proposed HEX, purpose and measured contrast. Never overwrite the source palette.
