#F8F4FE Hex Color
Almost white, touched with violet
Not quite white, #f8f4fe is a faint violet-white with a grey cast. Its very low saturation keeps the mood soft and orderly, which suits hospital sites, wedding stationery, and clean beauty brands. It shines as a base layer in a 60/30/10 layout, where black text reaches about 19.4:1 contrast and passes WCAG AA with room to spare. Next to plain white it can look washed out, so give it a deep plum or slate border to hold its shape.
