Softer than lilac, #f3eaff is a pale purple with a gray drift that keeps it from tasting sugary. Its very low saturation makes it a natural background base in a 60/30/10 layout, and it flatters deep plum or charcoal more than the usual white. Black type reaches about 18:1 contrast here, so body copy stays readable. Just avoid placing it next to pure white, where it fades.
