Marshmallow
#f0eee4
Cool, milky off-white gray with subtle warmth
About Marshmallow
Marshmallow reads like a paper sample that got a little too much daylight, then cooled down. On my screen it sits a touch grayer than Marble White, so it feels less crisp and less "true white with a gray backbone." Compared with Blanc Cassé, it doesn't show that faint ash snap against actual white, it just stays consistently soft. And unlike Cotton Field, it keeps its neutrality without drifting into that quieter, linen-adjacent vibe.
I use Marshmallow as a background for dashboards and finance apps when I need the page to breathe but I still want the UI chrome to hold shape. It's also my go-to in medical interfaces and editorial layouts where long-form text needs a calmer canvas than the slightly warmer near-whites. You get the one you reach for when you want separation from dark type without the gray showing up as a "decision."
One note: it can look colder next to warm photography or creams, so pair it with neutral or cool grays if you want it to stay polite rather than icy.
