X11 color

Seashell 2 (#EEE5DE) is a light, warm off-white from the X11 Seashell series, one step darker than the CSS standard — equivalent to aged parchment or lightly tinted writing paper. The warmth and depth remove it from the purely white category while keeping it firmly in the delicate, pale range. It is suited to print-style backgrounds, vintage document aesthetics, and warm neutral palettes in interior and graphic design.
