Solid Cerulean background details
With hex #007BA7 (rgb(0, 123, 167)), this versatile mid-tone blue tone sits around 196° on the color wheel. Its bold, saturated color makes it feel focused and trustworthy, which is why designers reach for cerulean when they need a dependable background that still has personality.
Cerulean, From Latin Skies to Ocean Depths
Derived from the Latin caeruleus, a word the Romans used for the sky, cerulean has spent most of its history describing daylight blue. This hex tells a deeper story: #007BA7 drops the red channel to zero and lands closer to open ocean than open sky, a saturated, teal-leaning blue with real authority behind it.
Pantone famously chose a softer cerulean as its first Color of the Year in 2000, but this stronger version is arguably more useful on screen. It backs white text with excellent contrast, gives travel and swimwear photography an instant horizon, and keeps slide decks feeling confident where navy would turn somber.
A palette that works with Cerulean
Sand and white frame cerulean the way a beach frames the sea, coral warms the scheme from across the color wheel, and navy extends it into deeper water.
