#ECEDED Hex Color
Almost white, with a soft grey edge
Pale grey sits a step away from white, soft and barely there. The hex code #eceded carries a faint cool cast and works best as a dominant background in minimal layouts, interfaces, and typography. Next to pure white it can read washed out, so anchor it with dark text. Black type on #eceded hits about 17.9:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA.
