Yes. Cobalt blue sits inside the Bright Winter palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #0050E8, ΔE 8.5 away. Under 12 reads as the same colour family; past 25 the two are visibly different colours.

It does not collide with anything on the season's avoid list, so the only question is distance.
