#acc7e5 - Water Wash color

A soft, airy pastel blue with a cool, slightly muted tone and a whisper of periwinkle. It feels like an early spring sky filtered through haze—calming, gentle, and approachable. Its subtle gray undertone keeps it from feeling saccharine, making it elegant for backgrounds, textiles, or product packaging. Pairs beautifully with warm neutrals, deep navy, coral accents, or brushed gold to add contrast while preserving a serene, sophisticated palette.
