Not a bright sky blue, #a6bccb is a dusty, almost gray blue with an ashy, muted finish. Its low saturation reads steady and dependable, which is why it suits finance and healthcare brands. Use it as a supporting tone rather than a hero color, since it can wash out next to white. Black text over it hits about 10.7:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. A warm terracotta accent keeps it from feeling flat.
