A softened denim blue with a gray cast, #6c9cd4 sits lighter and dustier than standard corporate blue. That muted quality reads easy rather than commanding, which suits healthcare interfaces and financial branding built on quiet trust. It works best as a supporting tone or large UI surface. Next to pure white it can look washed, so give it weight with charcoal text or a navy accent.
