#BAFDD5 Hex Color

Far from a deep forest green, #bafdd5 is a pale pastel mint with very little saturation. That low intensity gives it a soft, gentle feel, which suits baby products, spring themes, and organic branding. It works best as a dominant background rather than an accent, since it can wash out next to plain white. Black text reads clearly on top at about 18.1:1 contrast, so the hex code #bafdd5 handles small body copy with room to spare. Pair it with deep plum or charcoal for a richer mix.
