#DCD9CD Hex Color

Milk White functions effectively as a background because it provides a high 14.8:1 contrast ratio against black text while maintaining a softer, less clinical appearance than pure white. This balance helps prevent eye strain during long periods of reading or data entry.

Milk White pairs beautifully with deep, earthy tones to ground its pale appearance, such as charcoal or sage. These dark, muted shades create a professional, balanced aesthetic that feels both modern and grounded in natural color theory.
