#E5EAF0 Hex Color

#e5eaf0 pairs well with charcoal text, navy accents, and muted burgundy because its pale blue-grey base gives darker colors room to stand out while keeping layouts crisp, restrained, and legible. Use it as a dominant background rather than a small accent.

#e5eaf0 supports black body text with about a 17.4:1 contrast ratio, comfortably exceeding the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text and making it a practical light interface background. White text has too little contrast for reliable readability.
