Pastel blue, dialed way back. #bacefc is a very light, barely saturated shade with a cool, clean cast, so it works best as a dominant background rather than an accent. It can wash out next to pure white, so give it darker neighbors like navy or warm terracotta to hold contrast. Black text reads clearly on it, at roughly 13.3:1, well past AA for small type. The hex code for pastel blue is #bacefc.
