Light Maize
#F9E79F

White can feel cold, and beige can feel dull. Light Maize sits between them with a small dose of corn yellow.

Use it behind recipes, classroom notes, simple charts, or hand-drawn icons.

Sage makes the surface feel natural.

Dusty blue adds quiet contrast, and a brick-red detail gives the pale field some weight.

#F9E79F breaks down to RGB 249, 231, and 159. All three channels are high, but the lower blue value leaves a clear yellow tint instead of plain off-white.
