Composed Eustoma
Composed Eustoma (#4F64ED) is a true blue with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (232°, 81%, 62%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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 amber. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
The past participle of compose, to arrange together — used as a color modifier for hues that read as deliberate and balanced. Composed black, composed gray: the saturation is moderate, the hue is calmly positioned without aggression. Sits at the bold-and-quiet edge of the grid near settled and resolute.
Mexican-Texan prairie gentian (Eustoma grandiflorum) — marketed worldwide as lisianthus, a long-stemmed cut-flower industry staple with deep-violet rose-form blooms. Eustoma color refers to a freshly cut Eustoma grandiflorum fully opened bloom: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the velvet finish of overlapping ruffled tepals. The Greek genus name eu-stoma means fine-mouthed, after the wide-throated corolla.

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.
