#C8E7F2 Hex Color
Pale cyan with a weightless feel
#c8e7f2 is a pale, barely saturated cyan that reads as soft sky blue. That high lightness makes it a natural base color, and black text passes easily on it at about 16.2:1 contrast. It flatters deep navy and warm coral accents, and it suits tech, aerospace, and children’s branding where a light, friendly tone helps. It can look washed out next to pure white, so give it a darker neighbor.
