Atlas Cedar
Also known as: Aqua Sea, Beach Blue, Hydroport, Meadowbrook
Part of the cyan family, Atlas Cedar pairs a medium base with a crisp and refreshing presence — ideal for water themes and healthcare apps. Its complement lands in red territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.04:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- 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.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
