Color palette reference

Sky Color Palettes

Sky palettes create breathing room through light blues and clear neutrals. A deeper blue keeps links, actions, and headings from disappearing into the atmosphere.

Useful for

  • SaaS, education, and travel products
  • Onboarding and explanatory content
  • Light dashboards and service brands

Pairing notes

Pair airy blues with ink navy and a warm white or cool gray surface. Save the most saturated blue for interaction so the product has a reliable visual cue.

Contrast note

Pale blue is often a surface rather than a foreground. Check links and small text against it, and provide a non-color focus indicator for keyboard users.
