Not quite white

Cream is a pale, warm off-white with a yellow lean, named after the top of fresh milk. CSS has no cream keyword, but ivory (#FFFFF0), cornsilk and oldlace are close.

Cream, ivory and eggshell

Cream is the warmest and most yellow.
Ivory is lighter, almost white.
Eggshell is slightly grayer and more muted.

Styling cream

Cream softens a palette that would feel harsh with pure white. It pairs with navy, forest green, burgundy, brown and terracotta, and suits vintage and wedding designs.

On screen

Cream takes dark text easily and is a comfortable page background for long reading. Use a slightly darker cream for cards so they separate from the page. See also beige, neutral colors and pastel yellow.
