Aqua Fiesta
Also known as: Pale Pastel, Everest, Limpet Shell, Paradisiacal Getaway
Aqua Fiesta brings a clean and modern feel to any palette. This soft cyan is a natural fit for water themes and healthcare apps. Set it against a red accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.26:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Aqua Fiesta works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: The safest brand-primary family there is; differentiate with an unexpected accent.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
