#b5b6ce - Madder Blue color

A soft, muted periwinkle-gray that reads as a cool, silvery blue with subtle lavender undertones. It feels calm and refined—modern yet slightly nostalgic—making it ideal for serene interiors, minimalist branding, and tech interfaces seeking softness without losing professionalism. Pair with warm woods, brass accents, or crisp white for contrast; combine with deeper navy or charcoal for depth. In matte finishes it appears soothing and understated; in satin or metallic sheens it takes on a gentle, luminous quality.
