Hex color #ecdaad graphic
Think of aged manila paper or bleached straw. That faded warmth comes from very low saturation and high lightness, and #ecdaad carries both. Use it as a dominant background in a 60/30/10 layout, where it flatters deep olive and navy accents. Black text on it reads at about 15.2:1, so small body copy passes WCAG AA with room to spare.
