A blue gradient can be used to enliven fields of color.

If the gradient is used strictly as a background – for instance, under an overlay box – you can use the complete color range.

If you are overprinting the gradient with type, you need to make sure the resulting contrast ratio meets accessibility standards. See the color combination chart at https://brand.ucla.edu/identity/colors#accessibility.
