A saturated azure that lands between pool water and a clear summer sky, #23aaf2 is bright, cool, and hard to miss. Use it as an accent rather than a full background; at this saturation it can overwhelm large surfaces. Black text reads clearly on top at roughly 8.1:1 contrast, so it passes AA behind small type. It pairs well with navy for depth or coral for energy.
