Not a crisp sky blue, #6d9dc3 is a dusty, grayed-down shade that sits at mid-lightness with a cool, ashy undertone. That muted quality reads steady and low-key, which suits healthcare dashboards, finance brands, and government interfaces. Use it as a supporting tone rather than a dominant field, since it can wash out next to pure white. Black text passes AA comfortably on it.
