Using this palette

A gentler, higher-key ramp than most of the other blue palettes here — nothing gets as dark or as saturated as arctic-blue's deep crevasse tone or cobalt-and-cream's pigment blue, which is intentional: this is meant to read as an ordinary calm sky rather than a dramatic or icy one. #5B8DB8 alone is dark enough to trust with copy — everything lighter in the ramp stays background and surface territory. Suited to children's/education branding, weather apps, or any context wanting blue that feels light and unthreatening rather than corporate-blue's deeper, more authoritative register.
