Lint is a dusty, unsaturated yellow with a distinct sage undertone that keeps it grounded. Because it is so muted, this color works best as a soft background or neutral support rather than a bold highlight. It pairs surprisingly well with charcoal grays or deep plums. The hex code for Lint is #adb28d, and it offers excellent readability with black text for accessible web design.
