A pale, grayed teal that reads almost neutral at first glance. #b5cfc2 is light enough to carry a full background but soft enough to avoid feeling clinical, which suits wellness apps and minimal interfaces. Its ashy undertone flatters charcoal and deep plum rather than obvious whites. Black text over this hex code reaches about 12.7:1 contrast, so small body copy stays readable.
