Notes
Bootstrap Light is the framework's near-white surface color, used for backgrounds in card variants, footer bars, and table stripes. It sits warmer than pure white, which prevents the sterile-printer-paper effect that pure #ffffff can produce next to colored elements. The hex has become so widespread that a casual web user can subconsciously identify a Bootstrap-themed site by the specific off-white. Dark text with a single saturated accent sits naturally on top. A slightly darker neutral for cards layered above keeps the surface hierarchy readable without relying on shadows alone.
