#b4cbbe is a pale green pulled so far toward gray that it reads as a faded, almost bleached sage. Its low saturation and high lightness make it a natural dominant base for minimal layouts, wellness brands, and eco packaging. It flatters deep charcoal and warm terracotta, both of which give it the contrast it lacks on its own. Black text sits comfortably on it at about 12.2:1, clearing WCAG AA with room to spare.
