Spa
Also known as: Source Blue, Ionic Sky, Underwater, Frosty White Blue
A gentle cyan with a clean and modern character, Spa works beautifully for modern branding and tech interfaces. Reach for a red companion shade to give Spa maximum contrast. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (16.78:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Spa works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- 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.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
