#5DC8FB Hex Color
Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
#5dc8fb is a bright pastel blue, the shade of pool water on a sunny day. Its high lightness and strong saturation give it a fresh, sparkling feel, and black text on it hits about 11.1:1 contrast, so it passes WCAG AA behind small body copy. It works best as a background or supporting tone rather than the main brand color, since it can wash out next to pure white. Warm coral and deep navy both flatter it, and grounding it with a touch of mixed gray keeps it from feeling too sugary.
