#B2C89E Hex Color
Gentle green, bleached almost to gray
For a soft spring background or nursery packaging, reach for #b2c89e. This pale lime green is heavily muted, so it reads closer to sage than to anything bright.

It flatters charcoal and dusty plum better than plain white, which tends to wash it out.
