As it was already mentioned, Baby Blue is a type of cyan color. In its meaning, cyan is associated with the clarity of thinking, mental concentration and focus. Being between blue and green, cyan is associated with insight and rational thinking, but at the same time its green aspect make it warmer and more balanced, not as detached from practical reality as blue is.
Cyan is not the most featured color in corporate websites. It is mainly used as a brand color by certain companies, or as a general element of a design, but is rarely used for intents related to color psychology. Nevertheless, its variations may be used in the same way as blue – as a part of a naturalistic design, reminiscent of the skies and the sea, especially of tropical waters.
It is still important to remember, however, that the meaning of cyan color, and thus also Baby Blue, often depends on personal associations and preferences. It means that if used creatively, it can be employed for any marketing and branding purpose.
