Blue — #0000FF
Blue screen.
Blue, and nothing like the one with the sad face. Pure #0000FF.

The panel
Any hex works. Patterns are drawn in CSS, so nothing blurs when the panel goes fullscreen.

02 — Uses
What this colour is for
- Blue subpixel check
- The third of the three. Blue subpixels fail less often than red, and when they do it's usually a faint one.
- Night filters
- Toggle night mode against this. The shift is obvious here and invisible on a photo.
- Chromatic aberration
- A flat blue field next to a dark edge makes purple fringing pop out of the corners.
- Focus
- Blue is the channel your eye focuses hardest on. A full blue field is the quickest way to feel that.
03 — Step by step
Testing a screen with it
Brightness up
Blue is dim to begin with; your eye is bad at it.
Fullscreen
Then check the corners, where blue uniformity fails first.
Toggle your filter
Watch what the OS does to the colour, not what the label on the switch says.
04 — FAQ
FAQ
Is this the Windows blue screen?
No. That one is #0078D7 and comes with a stop code.
Does a blue screen keep you awake?
Not really. Bright light does that, and the effect is small next to sleep, caffeine and timing.
