浅縹色Asahanada-iro
あさはなだいろ · Pale indigo · family blue
A named color for pale indigo.
浅縹色 (Asahanada-iro) is catalogued here as pale indigo. Tobunken explicitly lists 浅縹 alongside 縹 and 深縹 (historical name attestation). No standard measured sRGB/Lab value tied to this exact historical usage is currently available; HEX is a modern authoritative approximation.
Tobunken records the underlying color/material term in the Nara-period vocabulary database derived from 『大日本古文書』; this supports historical name attestation, not measured sRGB.
Traditional color names predate modern screen color spaces, so this HEX value is a design approximation rather than a material measurement.
