Using this color

Where #dae3e3 works

#DAE3E3 (#dae3e3) sits in the cyan family at about 180° hue, 14% saturation, and 87% lightness.

Nearest Tailwind token: neutral-200 (approximation unless the hex is an official scale stop).

Sensible jobs for this swatch

subtle surfaces, chips, and table stripes
text or icons on charcoal / dark mode

Do not use #dae3e3 as small body text on white — 1.31:1 misses WCAG AA (4.5:1). Pair it with a darker shade from the scale below, or check pairs in the contrast checker.

Family context: Freshness, clarity, and innovation. Great for tech accents and clean digital products. Common uses still include buttons, charts, and accents in the Cyan range — always verify the pair for this exact hex in the contrast checker.
