#FFDEAD

CSS color

Navajo White (#FFDEAD) is a warm, peachy off-white that takes its CSS name from the traditional earthen hues associated with Southwestern adobe architecture and Navajo pottery. The soft golden undertone keeps it from reading as cold, making it an appealing alternative to pure white in interior design and warm-toned UI palettes. Web designers use it to add subtle warmth to backgrounds without the heaviness of beige.
