Stargazer

Cool, lighter slate blue for calm headers
About Stargazer
Stargazer reads like a calm blue that still keeps a pulse. Compared to Dark Secret's heavy, compressed punch, this one feels lighter and more breathable, with a steadier saturation that doesn't clump or swallow detail.
I like it in blue family UI where you want clarity first but still need the surface to feel "placed." It works well for dashboards and finance apps that need section headers, data cards, and selection states that don't look flat like Great Void. It also stays more settled than Nocturne Blue, because Stargazer doesn't drift into that warmed-after-hours slate look.
Quirk: on very matte displays it can read a touch more teal, so I usually pair it with neutrals that stay clean, not yellowed grays. That keeps it from slipping toward darker, sea-toned blues.
