#abacae is a light grey with the faintest cool undertone. Its low saturation keeps it neutral and steady, which suits UI backgrounds, product surfaces, and minimal layouts. Black text reads clearly on it at about 9.2:1 contrast, so small body copy is safe. Next to pure white it can wash out, so give it a darker partner like charcoal.
