Dark Cyan is a cool color that combines the coolness of both blue and green. In addition to the calming attributes of cool blue, this dark shade of blue may also carry some of the symbolism of green such as balance, harmony, and stability. To warm it up a bit, we've added a reddish purple (or is that purplish red) color (R116G0B58) and a dark golden yellow color (R140G112B0). They keep the blue from being too watery, infusing it with some richness and energy and perhaps a little cheerfulness.

You don't have to use these exact shades. Go a touch lighter or darker, or step one spot to the left or the right on the color wheel. These color combinations are just to help you find a suitable color palette using dark blue as the main component.
