#C5D9E3 Hex Color

Black text is the safest choice, reaching about 14.4:1 contrast, far above the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Dark navy also works for headings if you want less severity than pure black.

Navy and charcoal give #c5d9e3 structure, while a muted terracotta accent adds warmth that stops the palette from feeling clinical. Avoid pale yellows, which can turn muddy against its grey undertone.
