White is not the only choice for a clean surface. This pale grey, hex code #e7efee, carries a faint green undertone that keeps it from feeling sterile. It works best as a dominant base in minimal UIs and open layouts, where charcoal or deep teal text gives it contrast. Black text on #e7efee reaches about 18:1, so small body copy passes AA with room to spare. Next to pure white it can look washed out, so treat it as the color itself, not a fallback.
