The first daughter behind Alice Blue
Few colors owe their name to a president's child. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Theodore Roosevelt's famously headstrong eldest daughter, favored an icy pale blue that dressmakers rushed to copy, and the shade has carried her name ever since. It later joined the X11 palette and survives as a CSS keyword, one of the few named web colors with an actual person attached.
At #F0F8FF it is barely blue at all; red and green sit only a few steps below full, so it behaves like a cool-leaning white. That makes it a quiet upgrade for dashboards, resume headers, and app backgrounds where pure white feels sterile but any visible tint would be too much.
