#FFFACC Hex Color
Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
Not pure white and not quite yellow, #fffacc is a pale warm cream with only a hint of pigment. Its very high lightness makes it a solid dominant base for UI backgrounds, and black text on this hex code reaches about 19.8:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA for body copy. It flatters muted greens like sage better than cool grays. One caveat: beside true white it can read slightly dingy, so keep the two apart in tight layouts.
