#D5E4EC Hex Color

Black text provides about a 16.1:1 contrast ratio on #d5e4ec, comfortably exceeding the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for normal body text and making this pale background suitable for readable interface copy, labels, and controls.

#d5e4ec pairs well with charcoal, navy, or muted terracotta, which give its pale gray-blue surface enough weight and warmth for branding, dashboards, and editorial layouts without making the palette feel stark.
