Light Blue

I keep seeing this shade show up on the header of a well-made signup form, where the page needs to feel airy but still clearly blue. Light Blue lands as warmer than the ice-pale near-whites in the family, so it doesn't disappear, and it reads steadier than the more muted "almost veil" look.

Compared to Lady-In-Waiting, it's a touch cleaner and less obviously saturated, so it feels lighter without turning chalky. Versus Distant Homeworld, it gives up some of that cyan-leaning punch, staying more softly blue than it is visibly warm. I use it as the go-to the one you reach for background in dashboards and finance apps, especially behind cards, tables, and empty-state panels where you want calm that still feels intentional.

Quirk: on screens that run cool, it can look slightly grayer. If your typography shifts, nudge toward gray-based text and you'll keep the whole UI coherent with less fuss.
