#F3ECE3 Hex Color
A Whisper of Warm White
Somewhere between eggshell and unbleached paper, #f3ece3 is a shade of orange with the saturation drained to almost gray. That faint warmth makes it a strong dominant base for palettes where plain white reads too clinical. The hex code keeps black text readable at about 17.9:1 contrast, so small body copy stays safe on top.
