electricblue

Electric blue is a vivid, highly saturated shade of blue that often includes a noticeable touch of cyan. It is not a standardized color with a single official value; instead, it describes a family of bright blue hues that resemble the glow of electric or neon light. The exact appearance depends on lighting, medium, and context.

In digital color systems, electric blue is typically represented as a blue with significant green and blue components and little red. There is variation among sources, with common approximate hex values including #7DF9FF and #00BFFF depending on the palette.

The term arose in the 20th century with the advent of neon lighting and electric signs, which produced intense, luminous blues. Since then it has been used in fashion, graphic design, and branding to convey energy, futurism, and a sense of modernity.

In culture and popular usage, electric blue appears in names and branding and is often associated with vivid, futuristic, or high-energy imagery. It is used in design to create bright contrast and visual impact, and in art and media it is linked to pop art, cyberpunk aesthetics, and neon-inspired visuals.
