#b0e0e6

Powder Blue Color
Sky reflected in a glass of milk. Powder blue color (#b0e0e6) has been the default nursery shade for at least sixty years because it calms the eye without going saccharine, and it flatters most skin tones. Every spring, sweater brands roll it out again like it’s a new idea.
#c4d9ef

Light Powder Blue Color
Light powder blue is a soft, pale sky-blue with a cool, airy feel, like a baby blanket or a summer haze. Gentle and clean, the light powder blue color makes a calming background for a nursery or a meditation app.
#b9c9d7

Powder Soft Blue Color
Powder blue took its name from smalt, a powdered cobalt glass once used to tint laundry starch, and this shade is a greyer take on it. Powder Soft Blue color #b9c9d7 is a pale, dusty blue-grey, like a work shirt after 100 washes.
#ebf1f5

Powder White Color
A pale, cool blue-white that reads as fresh snow rather than paper. Powder white color (#ebf1f5) belongs in ski resort branding, athletic wear packaging, and dental interiors. The blue undertone keeps it bright even in low light.
#c2dce3

Washing Powder White Color
Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing, a Prussian blue laundry rinse first sold in Minneapolis in 1883, has made whites look whiter for well over a century, and Washing Powder White is that trick in a swatch. The name says white, but #c2dce3 is plainly a pale icy blue.
#fdd6e5

Powder Pink Color
A pale, cool pink with a barely-there purple undertone. Powder pink color (#fdd6e5) is the classic ballerina pink, useful for children’s products, wedding decor, and cosmetics packaging. Sweet without going sugary.
#d9d3e5

Powder Viola White Color
Violas are the smaller, hardier cousins of pansies, and their petals often fade to near-white at the edges. Powder Viola White color takes that palest lilac edge, a soft off-white carrying the faintest cool violet.
#95396a

Powder Red Color
Powder red is misnamed; the powder red color is really a rich magenta-berry, closer to a raspberry coulis than any red. There’s a lot of blue in it, which pushes it toward purple. It’s a punchy, feminine accent for a beauty or fashion brand.
#fcfd74

Yellow Powder Color
Pollen dusted across a car hood on a spring morning. Yellow powder color (#fcfd74) sits so high on the brightness scale that dark type snaps against it. Playful packaging (children’s books, popsicle wrappers, festival flyers) thrives with the shade.
#34342c

Black Powder Color
A very dark khaki-brown that reads as black in dim light. Black powder color (#34342c) sits between forest green and true black, with a warmth that keeps it from feeling cold. Sherwin-Williams and Farrow & Ball have both used variations of this for high-end interior paint.
