#C7C9FA Hex Color
Muted periwinkle with a powdery, cool finish
Not quite lavender and not quite blue, this pale periwinkle sits at the light end of indigo. The hex code #c7c9fa is barely saturated, so it flatters as a dominant background rather than an accent, where it would wash out. Pair it with deep plum or charcoal instead of plain white, and use black text on top for contrast.
