A hushed, near-grey blue. Whisper Blue, hex code #e2eaf5, sits so close to white that it works best as a large background base rather than an accent. Its muted, cool cast reads steady and dependable, a fit for finance, healthcare, or government interfaces. Black text clears WCAG at about 17.3:1 here, so body copy stays legible. Just note that next to pure white it can wash out, so give it darker neighbors.
