Hex color #fcfbe8 graphic
Ivory white at its palest. #fcfbe8 is a barely-there yellow tint, so light it reads almost grey. That faint warmth makes it a softer base than plain white for minimal layouts, bridal stationery, and clean beauty packaging. It flatters deep olive or forest green accents. Black text hits about 20.1:1 contrast here, well past WCAG AA for body copy.
