About Song of the Sea
I see Song of the Sea as a clear, ocean-tinted purple you'd catch at mid-day, not at dawn. Compared to Endless River, it doesn't feel airy or river-washed, and it stays more distinctly purple instead of drifting toward cool gray. It also reads less like the controlled, office-screen seriousness of Loch Ness, because this one has a slightly brighter lift and a friendlier saturation.
In practice, I use it in dashboards and finance apps when you need a secondary link or section highlight that feels present but not loud. It works well for SaaS table emphasis, step indicators, and settings callouts where the rest of the UI is slate and you want the accent to look clean, steady focus. If you've been using Misty Harbour for "safe" accents, this shade is the step up toward a more readable, more straightforward purple rather than that purple-gray pinched between fog and slate.
Pair it with crisp off-whites or cooler neutrals so it stays swim-deep and fresh. Warm creams can push it toward a dull, dusty edge fast.
