Pastel blue is a light, sparkling shade with enough saturation to stay fresh rather than washed out. The hex code #69b8fc works well as a dominant background in healthcare, finance, and spring layouts, since black text on it clears WCAG AA at about 9.9:1 contrast. It flatters coral accents and deep navy, and you can soften its glitter by mixing gray into it. Against plain white it loses punch, so give it darker neighbors.
