Notes
Snow is one of the palest off-whites in CSS, with a faint pink-warm undertone that distinguishes it from pure white. The hex reads as quiet and inviting, useful as a background where the harsh edge of pure #ffffff would feel sterile. Editorial, beauty, and wellness brands use it as a primary background, usually under deep charcoal type or warm brown for a softer secondary accent. Two Snow surfaces side by side will look identical in dim viewing conditions; treat the color as a single-layer tone rather than for nested cards or stacked surfaces.
