🐺Michael🐺 After messing around a bit it seems that #163199 is the best I could get for a dark blue-ish colour that sort of resembles what you're trying to get. If that doesn't seem to be it, I would recommend checking out this W3School hexadecimal colour slider thing to try and get the perfect shade - https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp

Copy your code to codepen.io Set SCSS CSS preprocessor Use SCSS to find darker color for you $color: #154699; $dark: darken($color, 20%); /* darker by 20% */ body { color: $dark; } Then use "View compiled SCSS" option to look for the compiled color code by SCSS.

Try lowering every bit by the same amount to make things darker. Another way to do it is to look up a color picker and convert the color format to hsl. In hsl all you have to do to make something darker is adjust the luminescence.

I'm not too sure if this is what you are looking for, but by changing the blue hexadecimal to 77 makes the colour much darker while still somewhat pertaining its blue tint.

Faisal That made it a kind of green-gray color, which is not what I was looking for but is pretty interesting.
