Fresh Air
Also known as: Ganon Blue , Winter Wizard , Frozen Landscape , Van Gogh Blue
Fresh Air is a pale, vivid cyan that reads as cool and clear. It earns its place in tech interfaces and water themes. Match it with orange accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (15.50:1), but avoid it as text on white.
