Baltic #279D9F Full codes, palettes, and pairings →The color
Why Baltic works
Baltic holds a rich position in the cyan range and reads as cool and clear. You'll see it used for tech interfaces and water themes. A red counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 6.41:1 on black clears AA.
Palettes
The day's palette
Five colors, engine-built: a mid shade for depth, Baltic itself, two tints for light surfaces, and the complement for accents. Every swatch copies its hex; every name opens that color's page.
