Baby Bunting
Gentle ashy blue for modern interfaces
Baby Bunting is an ashy, desaturated blue with a cool, airy character. It works best as a primary background color for clean, professional UI designs where clarity matters. Because it is highly readable with black text, it functions well for long-form content. If your design feels too cold, pairing this hex code with deeper pink tones helps warm the overall palette. #abcaea is reliable but can look washed out against pure white.
