A faded, very pale lime with a gray undertone. #d2dec3 reads gentle and airy, so it works best as a dominant background in minimal layouts or nature-themed brands. Black text holds strong contrast on it, about 15:1, which makes the hex code a safe pick behind small body copy. It can look washed out next to pure white, so anchor it with darker greens or charcoal.
