#FDF5E6

CSS color

Old Lace (#FDF5E6) is an extremely delicate CSS off-white with the faintest warm, creamy tint — close to white but with the subtle yellowing of aged textile lace or antique paper. This near-white CSS color is prized by web designers for creating warm, paper-like backgrounds that feel less clinical than pure white, particularly in editorial and vintage-styled sites.
