Crème Fraîche
An airy and organic off-white neutral
Crème Fraîche is an airy, desaturated off-white that leans toward a faint, grey-tinted yellow. Because it feels organic and clean, it makes an excellent base color for minimalist UI design or wide-open layouts. The hex code for this neutral shade is #eceee6. It supports high-contrast black text perfectly, making it a functional choice for readability on web pages where pure white feels too sharp.
