Internal Comparison

Cream tones side-by-side.

The top swatch is the tone we removed (previously called bg-parchment). The second is the tone currently on every ivory section of the site. Below are three lighter/cooler options if the current one still reads too warm to you.

#F8F5F0

OPTION · PURE

Near-paper

#FAF8F4

The most paper-like — almost no warmth.

My read on this: The tone I removed (#F4EDD9) was distinctly yellow. The one currently in use (#F7F3EC) is a genuinely cooler cream — closer to antique paper than to butter. But side-by-side under different light, the difference is subtle. If it still reads warm to you, one of the three "OPTION" swatches below could take its place site-wide with a single-line change.
