Frequently asked questions

About the Autotech Cyan palette

What colors are in the Autotech Cyan palette?

The five HEX colors are #04023B, #061086, #0A2FAF, #A8C6DB, #D4EEBA. In descriptive terms they read as Deep Blue, Dark Blue, Vivid Blue, Soft Blue, Soft Green, giving the palette a spread from deep blue to soft green.

Which color is the strongest anchor in Autotech Cyan?

#04023B is the darkest color in the set and is the strongest candidate for navigation, display headings, framing, or other high-priority hierarchy. The final foreground should be selected from the measured contrast pairs.

Which color should I use for a CTA?

#04023B is the most saturated color in this palette, so it is a useful CTA candidate for actions such as “Book test drive”. Use it selectively and verify the button text/background contrast before production.

What is the highest-contrast pair in this palette?

Among the five supplied colors, #04023B and #D4EEBA produce the strongest measured contrast at approximately 15.5:1. The accessibility section on the page shows which combinations meet AA or AAA thresholds for specific text sizes.

Where does Autotech Cyan work best in automotive design?

It is particularly useful for a EV campaign, especially when paired with charging infrastructure. The palette is most effective when the five colors are assigned stable roles instead of being used at equal weight.

Can I export these colors for development and design tools?

Yes. The page exposes the five HEX values plus CSS variables, gradients, Tailwind configuration, SCSS, JSON, editable shade ranges, and links into the GEC Designs palette, gradient, and AI tools.
