cornflower blue
Pale sky shade
Cornflower blue is a moderate, slightly muted blue with a faint purplish tint, named after the flower.
It falls between sky blue and periwinkle—softer than royal blue, more vivid than powder blue: She painted the nursery cornflower blue.
The color appears frequently in textiles, web design, and eye color descriptions.
