Iceberg
Also known as: Ocean Air, Icelandic, Blooming Aster, St. Petersburg
Part of the blue family, Iceberg pairs a pale base with a steady and dependable presence — ideal for corporate branding and SaaS products. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a orange keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 16.31:1 on black clears AA.

Where Iceberg works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings — warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: Sits in the trust register — a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
