Frequently Asked Questions
What colors pair well with #85c3e2?
Navy deepens it nicely, while warm sand or terracotta offsets its cool cast. For text and icons, charcoal and other near-blacks give the strongest contrast. Plain white can look washed out beside this muted blue, so test combinations first.
Is black text readable on #85c3e2?
Yes. Black text on #85c3e2 reaches about 10.9:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA requires for body copy. That makes it a safe background choice under small type.
