#FFFCB2 Hex Color
Buttery White With a Sunlit Glow
#fffcb2 is a luminous pale yellow with almost no saturation, so it reads as white warmed by a hint of butter. It feels clean and mellow, which suits sanitary, bridal, and minimal layouts. As a background it flatters deep plum or olive text and passes AA with black text at 19.8:1. Next to pure white it can wash out, so give it a darker neighbor.
