Parchment

Parchment works best as a background color rather than a text color because it provides low contrast against standard screen brightness. Pair it with dark, high-contrast typography like charcoal or deep espresso to ensure your content remains readable and accessible for all users.

Parchment is definitively a warm color, leaning heavily into yellow undertones that mimic the appearance of aged paper or light sunlight. This warmth makes it an ideal alternative to sterile, clinical white when you want to create a more inviting, human-centric visual environment.
