A watery sky blue, like denim faded by sun. #5eadd1 sits light and unsaturated, so it reads gentle rather than loud. Its muted, cool character suits healthcare branding, baby products, and calm UI backgrounds. Black text holds about 8.4:1 contrast on it, well past WCAG AA, and the tone flatters soft neutrals like the shades in what colors make gray. Treat it as a 60% base color, not an accent.
