Not white, and not a true gray either, #d8dbdc is a pale neutral with a faint cool cast. Its very low saturation and high lightness read as airy and restrained, which suits minimal UI backgrounds and quiet typography. Black text hits about 15.1:1 contrast on it, well past WCAG AA for body copy. Next to pure white it can wash out, so keep darker tones nearby.
