Sky blue without the cheer. #8fa8b1 is a dusty, ashy cyan pulled close to gray by its low saturation, so it reads as a steady supporting tone rather than a hero color. It flatters warm accents like terracotta and deep charcoal, and with about 8.4:1 contrast against black text, the hex code handles small body copy as a UI background.
