#fcdbb5 is a pale pastel orange, closer to diluted peach than true orange. Its low saturation makes it read more like a warm neutral than a color, which is why it suits baby products, spa packaging, and soft seasonal palettes. It shines as a background tone, especially behind brown or navy type. Next to pure white it can look washed out, so pair it with a slightly deeper neighbor for contrast.
