About Windstorm

I look at Windstorm and think of the moment a blue sky gets dragged slightly into shade. It's a medium, airy blue with softer saturation than , so it doesn't plant itself like a decision. At the same time, it's not as cool and restrained as , which can read a bit reserved and buttoned-up.

Use it when you want a clear accent for SaaS dashboards and fintech surfaces without the heavier anchor feel of . It's great for secondary buttons, chart strokes, and card highlights on light backgrounds, especially in health and workflow products where you need "confident" more than "commanding." Compared to , Windstorm stays cooler and less eager, so it feels steadier, not more spirited.

Pair it with white and crisp grays and you'll get a calm interface state. If you push it too close to bright blues, it can start to look a little washed, so keep contrast in mind in dense data screens.
