#DCD5C8 Hex Color

Use Polished Limestone as a primary background color when you want to avoid the starkness of pure white while maintaining high readability. It pairs beautifully with deep charcoal typography, providing enough contrast for body text while feeling soft and intentional.

Polished Limestone sits in a unique middle ground because its base is a bleached yellow, which provides inherent warmth, but its strong grey undertones pull it toward a cooler, muted aesthetic. This balance keeps it from feeling overly sunny or clinical.
