Steam Bath
Also known as: Post Apocalyptic Cloud , Naturally Calm , Gentle Blue , Link Water
Steam Bath brings a steady and dependable feel to a palette. This pale blue suits finance apps and trust-driven interfaces. A orange counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (13.60:1), but avoid it as text on white.
