About Veiling Waterfalls
Veiling Waterfalls (#d4eaff) looks like a sheet of pale blue mist sitting over bright water, not the air itself. Compared to Cloudless, it doesn't disappear into near-white. Compared with Hint of Blue, it's a touch more saturated and less "first-tint after warm lights." And unlike Salty Ice, it leans softer and more enveloping instead of glass-cold.
I reach for it as a calm secondary surface in dashboards and finance apps where you still want things to feel clean, but not sterile. It's great behind table headers, card panels, and onboarding steps in healthcare portals and appointment scheduling, especially when the rest of the UI needs breathing room. The mood reads soft, airy cool with a slight veil effect, so it holds up when you stack lots of UI blocks.
Pair it with deeper navy or steel borders and crisp dark text; if you push it too close to warm backgrounds, it can start to look more washed than "intentional".
