#94D4DD Hex Color
A soft, dusty take on cyan
#94d4dd is a pale cyan with a dusty, grayed-out edge. Its low saturation keeps it soft, so it works best as a calm background or supporting tone rather than a vivid accent. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy, since white text washes out against it. Black text passes AA easily at about 12.7:1. It suits spring themes, baby products, and airy minimal layouts.
