Barely-there grey with a faint green undertone, like unwritten paper or fresh plaster. The hex code #edf0ee works best as a dominant base in minimal layouts and interfaces, where its hint of green keeps it from feeling clinical. It can wash out beside pure white, so anchor it with darker tones. Black text reads at about 18.3:1 contrast, comfortably past WCAG AA.
