Conquering Naruto
Conquering Naruto (#0563AA) is a deep azure with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (206°, 94%, 34%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary orange. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Latin conquīrere, to seek thoroughly — present-participle of conquer. As a color modifier, conquering implies a saturated-and-overwhelming-and-victorious quality where the hue overcomes neighboring colors through pure pigmentation strength. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to triumphant and dominant.
The Naruto Strait between Honshū and Shikoku — and the deep blue of the strait's whirlpool waters at peak tidal flow. Naruto-iro refers to the deep azure of the strait. The color refers to mid-depth Naruto Strait water at high tide: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the optical complexity of high-velocity tidal flow over deep channel.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
