#D6DCDC Hex Color
Bleached grey, weightless and neutral
Neither white nor silver, this pale grey sits almost colorless on screen. #d6dcdc carries a faint cool cast and reads airy without the glare of pure white, which makes it a strong supporting tone behind typography and minimal interfaces. It can look washed out against bright backgrounds, so give it darker neighbors like charcoal to define its edges. Black text on the hex code reaches a 15.1:1 contrast ratio, well past WCAG AA for small body text.
