#CED7BC Hex Color
Soft, Bleached Lime for Open Space
#ced7bc is a pale lime with a gray undertone, faded enough to read as soft sage. That tinted, bleached quality suits minimal backgrounds and open layouts, but it washes out next to pure white, so frame it with darker tones. It looks richer against charcoal or deep teal. Black text sits at about 14.1:1 contrast here, well past AA for small type.
