#CEECAC Hex Color

Soft lime with a milky glow

Hex color #ceecac graphic
Far from the sharp green its lime label suggests, #ceecac is a pale, milky pastel with a soft yellow undertone. Its low saturation reads gentle and airy, which suits spring themes, baby products, and open, minimal layouts. Use it as a background base rather than an accent, and pair it with plum or charcoal since it can wash out beside plain white. Black text hits about 16.2:1 contrast, so small copy stays readable.
