Hex color #ccdea6 graphic
Softer than a fresh lime rind, #ccdea6 looks like new leaves washed out by bright spring light. This pale, unsaturated green works best as a dominant background in baby products, spring themes, and minimal layouts. Black text reads clearly on it at about 14.6:1 contrast, so it passes WCAG AA for body copy. Pair it with dusty plum or warm charcoal instead of pure white to keep it from washing out.
