#8eceb2 is a soft pastel green with a dusty, ashy undertone that keeps it calm instead of sweet. It works best as a background color, where its low saturation lets black text and navy pairings stand out cleanly. Gray tones sit naturally beside it, since the shade already carries a misty cast. Skip it for fine typography on white, where it loses definition.
