Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (30% to 87%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ice (#CAF1EF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Cerulean (#007D9B) on #CAF1EF gives 3.93:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Cyan (#00B8BD) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Powder Blue (#90E3DD) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.

Color-blind check: under protanopia and deuteranopia, Powder Blue and Ice become hard to tell apart, so do not rely on that pair alone to carry meaning.
