Pastel lime with a milky, yellow-green undertone, #e1f9a9 stays soft and light even at full saturation of a layout. Its low saturation reads gentle rather than electric, which suits spring packaging, baby products, and calm app backgrounds. Black text hits about 18.3:1 contrast on top, so small body copy is safe. For pairing, try deep plum or charcoal instead of plain white, which can wash it out.
