Far from a flat baby blue, this pale cyan leans crisp and airy. Its low saturation and high lightness read soft and gentle, which suits backgrounds, baby products, and spring layouts. One catch: the hex code #b2e6f7 washes out next to pure white, so anchor it with charcoal or a warm neutral. Black text on it hits about 15.6:1 contrast, well past AA.
