#A2ADD0

Crayola color

Wild Blue Yonder (#A2ADD0) is a muted, cool blue-grey in the Crayola palette, evoking the hazy, indistinct blue of the sky at the distant horizon — the 'wild blue yonder' of aviation song and poetry. The desaturated, grey-tinged quality captures the atmospheric perspective of looking far into the distance where the sky fades from blue to a soft, milky grey-blue. In design, it suggests distance, dreaming, adventure, and the romance of flight and open skies.
