#EEECEA Hex Color
Soft Grey with a Barely-There Warmth
Far from stark white, this pale grey carries a faint warm undertone that keeps it soft. #eeecea works best as a background or supporting base in minimal layouts, where it reads calmer than plain white. Its high lightness gives black text about 17.8:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA for body copy. Pair it with deep navy or charcoal for a restrained, professional finish.
