Wedding suites, baby products, and wellness branding often reach for lavender, and #cfabe8 fits that brief. It is a light purple with low saturation and a cool undertone, soft enough to carry large areas without fatigue. Its one weakness: against pure white it can look washed out, so ground it with deep plum or charcoal. Black text reads clearly on top, passing WCAG AA for body copy.
