Specifically, Deep Sea Ink Blue has a lightness of 27% and a saturation of 97%, steady and powerful as a background or primary color, pairing well with light text for good readability; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: The color of the deep seabed in Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea — profound and mysterious, expressing the depth of the ocean.

Blue can evoke calm, focus and trust, with a marked stabilizing effect; psychologically it symbolizes reason, loyalty and depth. For this reason Deep Sea Ink Blue tends to leave a first impression of being cool and reliable in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.

In real projects, Deep Sea Ink Blue is also often used as a dark background or heading text color; in “Blue”-themed designs, the adjacent colors or lightness gradients built around it quickly establish a cohesive, clearly layered color scheme.
