About Pantone Vivid Blue
Vivid blue colors sit in a specific band of the Blue family: saturation above 65% and lightness between 35% and 65%. That gives them a distinct role in a palette. Vivid blue tones are bright, saturated, and suitable for CTAs, alerts, and attention-grabbing accents.
Because Pantone codes are physical ink mixes, the intensity classification on this page is based on the HEX approximation of each color — the standard digital translation used by design tools. The classification is deterministic: every code with the same HEX approximation always lands in the same intensity bucket.
If you want the full blue range — light, mid-tone, dark, and everything between — use the Pantone Blue family page.

Frequently asked questions
How many Pantone vivid blue colors are there?
Our catalog includes 46 Pantone vivid blue colors, defined as Solid Coated colors in the blue family with saturation above 65% and lightness between 35% and 65%. The exact count depends on the intensity threshold — a slightly different threshold would produce a slightly different number. The Pantone system as a whole contains more blue-family codes, but not all of them fall into this intensity band.
What is the lightest Pantone vivid blue color?
The lightest color in this set is 3553 C (#006EB3). Because these are all "vivid" blue colors by our classification, this is the top of the lightness range for this bucket — but there are lighter codes in the full Pantone catalog that fall outside the vivid threshold and are covered on our broader Pantone Blue page.
What is the darkest Pantone vivid blue color?
The darkest color in this set is 2915 C (#62B5E5). Darker blue Pantone codes exist outside this bucket — see our broader family page for the full range.
When should I use a vivid blue Pantone color?
Vivid blue colors are bright, saturated, and suitable for CTAs, alerts, and attention-grabbing accents. Use them when you need a blue that reads as bold and vibrant rather than muted. They work well as accents, CTAs, and high-contrast elements.
How are these colors chosen?
We classify Pantone Solid Coated colors into intensity buckets by converting each color's RGB values to HSL and comparing against fixed thresholds. Light = lightness above 65%. Dark = lightness below 30%. Pale = lightness above 75% with saturation below 30%. Vivid = saturation above 65% with lightness between 35% and 65%. This is a deterministic classifier, not a curated list — the same Pantone code always lands in the same bucket.
Are these the same as the codes on the Pantone Blue page?
Partially — the blue family page shows all blue-family codes in our catalog, while this page shows only the vivid subset. Every code on this page also appears on the Pantone Blue page, but not every code on that page appears here. Use this page when you specifically want vivid tones; use the family page when you want the full range.
