I prefer using pics with overcast skies for reference to see how far a color is from pure bright white.
Snow is a good friend for white, though I'd agree on a lighter shade of blue. But I know nothing about this particular scheme. Sistership AGB.

I think both you do agree to the kind of a very, very light blue “pastel color tone”. I don’t know whether it’s Pantone or RAL but I must admit - in opposite of Ciderman - I would prefer if NG tried to get an ocean of white colour mixed with with a teardrop of blue color in order to match that very light blue of ALIA’s basic scheme.
