Easter Egg
Also known as: Fast Velvet, Corfu Sky, Pale Iris, Hair Ribbon
Easter Egg is what happens when blue turns soft and gentle. The effect is cool and professional, made for trust-driven interfaces and corporate branding. Set it against a brown accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.40:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Easter Egg works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- 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.
