Far from a vivid cyan, #d4dede reads as pale blue faded toward grey, like sky light caught in fog. Its low saturation and high lightness give it an airy, weightless feel. Treat it as a supporting tone for dark palettes rather than a headline color, since it can wash out beside pure white. Black text sits clearly on top, with contrast near 15.3:1.
