Savoy Blue

Midtone purple-blue anchor for calm, legible UI
About Savoy Blue
I keep noticing how Savoy Blue looks like a confident blue that still keeps its purple passport stamped. It's medium in depth, but it reads lighter and cleaner than the moodier, heavier Arcane Brew, and it doesn't go airy-periwinkle like God of Rain. The undertone is cooler and more saturated than Royal Blue, so it feels more "purple in charge" than a straight royal stripe.
I use Savoy Blue for focus rings, primary links, and selection highlights when I want a signal that lands as modern without tipping into deep evening tones. It shows up in dashboards and finance apps for interactive states, in creator platforms for callouts, and in course and learning interfaces where the purple needs to stay crisp on bright surfaces. It also behaves well in editorial media thumbnails where you want the highlight to feel deliberate, not neon.
Pair it with softer lilacs or warm light grays. If you drop it beside very cool steel tones, it can start to feel extra blue and pull the whole UI slightly colder than you planned.
