About Ivory

On my screen, Ivory reads like paper that's been sitting in warm light, not like a screen default. It's a clean off-white with a soft cream drift, but it's less buttery than and it doesn't flirt with green the way does.

Use it when you want the background to feel warmer than , yet still stay quiet. I reach for it in product interfaces, marketing sites, and editorial comps where body text needs room to breathe, especially in SaaS admin areas, commerce checkout pages, and reports that mix charts with copy. Pair it with cooler grays for structure, or with darker type for that "ink on warm stock" look.

One quirk: because Ivory sits between near-colorless and creamy, it can pick up nearby yellows. If your UI has lots of amber accents, it'll lean louder than you expect.
