#DED9BE Hex Color

This pale beige requires deep, high-contrast pairings to avoid looking washed out. It creates a sophisticated, balanced aesthetic when paired with charcoal text or deep espresso accents, which ground the bleached yellow tones effectively.

No, #ded9be has very poor contrast against pure white backgrounds and will be nearly illegible. It functions best as an expansive background color where dark, high-contrast text elements can sit clearly on top of it.
