#EED8AE

X11 color

Wheat 2 (#EED8AE) is a light, warm golden-beige from the X11 Wheat series, closely matching the CSS standard with its classic parchment-like warmth. The gentle golden tone makes it ideal for document backgrounds, natural-feeling design, and warm neutral palettes that reference natural plant fibres, undyed cloth, and traditional paper. The depth adds just enough substance to read clearly as a warm neutral rather than an off-white.
