Hex color #c4d0fc graphic
This pale, periwinkle-leaning indigo is cool and airy, feeling more washed-out than a standard blue. Because it is highly desaturated, it functions well as a neutral backdrop that pairs nicely with muted earth tones or charcoal grays. The hex code #c4d0fc offers enough contrast for legible text, making it a reliable choice for UI backgrounds where readability matters. Avoid using it alongside stark white, which makes it look muddy.
