Not quite teal and too soft to read as a true sky blue, #7bcae0 is a light cyan with a milky, low-saturation finish. That gentleness suits baby products, spring themes, and calm UI backgrounds. It flatters warm grays (see what colors make gray) and muted coral accents. Black text reads clearly on it at about 11.4:1 contrast, so small copy passes.
