A pale lavender pulled close to grey, #d4d4eb is soft without turning pastel-sweet. Its low saturation makes it a natural background or supporting tone in a 60/30/10 layout, and it flatters deep plum and slate far better than white does. Black text reads clearly on it at about 14.4:1 contrast, so it works behind body copy in wellness, wedding, and cosmetic designs.
