Almond (#EFDECD) Color Meaning

Almond (#EFDECD) expresses soft neutrality, tactile comfort, and understated elegance. This warm off-white mimics the inner shell of the almond nut—creamy, slightly beige, and gently organic.

In fashion and packaging, Almond communicates quiet luxury—think unbleached linen, ceramic tableware, or clean beauty.
