#FBE3BE Hex Color
Soft peach beige with a warm glow
Less orange than peach and paler than most creams, #fbe3be is a pastel beige with a warm, mellow glow. Its very low saturation keeps it soft, so it works best as a large background base in the 60 percent slot rather than a small accent. Next to white it can look washed out, but black text reads clearly on it at about 16.8:1 contrast.
