Ice Dagger
Also known as: Light Picnic Bay , Dew Not Disturb , Ice Bomb , Rio Sky
With its cool undertone, Ice Dagger (#CEE5DF) comes across as fresh and natural. Designers reach for it in wellness brands and eco packaging. Match it with pink accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (15.90:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Ice Dagger works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and 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: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
