Hex color #6cbafd graphic
#6cbafd is a pastel blue with a glossy, almost opalescent finish. It is light and cool, with enough saturation to avoid looking washed out on screen. Black text hits about 10.1:1 contrast on it, so this hex code works as a UI background for small body text. It fades next to plain white, so anchor it with deep navy or warm coral. Best as a dominant base in healthcare, finance, and spring-themed work.
