Like fresh linens drying in a summer breeze, this palette captures the essence of clean, crisp textiles in a sophisticated collection of blue and white tones. Each color, named after classic fabric textures, creates a sense of tactile comfort while maintaining professional polish.
The Palette Breakdown
The collection features six carefully selected shades, each evoking the texture of its namesake fabric:
Breeze (#95bbe3) leads with a clear, refreshing blue reminiscent of summer skies. Its counterpart, Muslin (#c6dce8), offers a softer, more diffused tone that brings to mind light filtering through sheer curtains.
Chambray (#6286bd) adds depth with its medium blue tone, familiar to anyone who loves a favorite pair of well-worn jeans, while Powder (#ecf5f8) provides an almost-white blue that feels as soft as its name suggests.
Cotton (#e3f0f4) and Linen (#d8eaef) round out the palette with subtle variations of pale blue, each bringing its own gentle character to the collection.
