Like a faded work shirt left out in the sun, this pastel blue carries a dusty, grayed undertone. #98cce7 works best as a background tone in UI, healthcare, and baby product palettes, where its low saturation keeps things soft. Black text reads clearly on it, but it can wash out next to pure white, so anchor it with a deeper navy.
