Soft pastel yellow with a faint green cast, #dce2a3 is light and unsaturated, so it reads mellow rather than bright. That low saturation makes it a calm base for spring themes, baby products, and open, minimal layouts. It flatters deep olive and navy better than white, which can wash it out. Black text on top reaches about 15.5:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA.
