Snow White
Also known as: Placebo Green, Spring White, Honeydew, Azure Mist
Snow White sits on the neutral side of the spectrum: a vivid white that feels clean and minimal. Try it in minimalist design and medical branding. Set it against a white accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (20.17:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Snow White works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings — warmer under evening light.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Craft and heritage material — coffee, leather goods, and premium packaging live here.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
