#C3D5EA Hex Color

#c3d5ea pairs well with charcoal, navy, and muted terracotta, which add readable contrast without overpowering its pale, gray-blue base, especially in restrained finance, healthcare, or technology layouts. Use it broadly as a background and reserve warmer accents for key details.

Black text has about a 14.0:1 contrast ratio against #c3d5ea, providing strong readability for body copy and meeting the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for normal text when rendered as specified. White text has much less contrast, so dark text is the safer choice.
