#E4F6DC Hex Color
Barely-there lime with an airy finish
#e4f6dc is a pale lime with almost no saturation, so it reads airy and faintly sweet rather than green. Designers reach for this hex code as a dominant background when plain white feels too clinical, though it can wash out beside pure white. Black text on it hits about 18.5:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA for small body text.
