Wave Splash

I think of Wave Splash as what happens when a pale sea-glass gray gets just enough body to stop looking like "almost-white" UI. Compared to Melting Point, it feels a touch brighter and more air-forward, with a smoother, less settled cool. Against Northwind, it reads less like a sky-matte neutral and more like a gentle gray-blue veil.

I reach for it when I want Wave Splash-level lightness without that flat, washed-out look that can happen with very desaturated neighbors. It's a strong pick for dashboards and finance apps where secondary panels, table chrome, and document viewers need to feel clean but not sterile, and it holds up nicely in healthcare portals and legal tech back-office screens full of forms and dense text.

Quick quirk: because it leans cooler than warm grays, it pairs best with crisp off-whites or slightly warm borders so the whole layout stays balanced.
