Cream (#FFFDD0) is a very light, highly saturated yellow hue. Cream is a soft off-white with yellow warmth, gentler on the eyes than pure white for large backgrounds.
In RGB it is made of 255 red, 253 green and 208 blue. Its HSL hue angle is 57° with 100% saturation and 91% lightness, while its perceptual OKLCH lightness is 98% with a chroma of 0.058. For print, a starting CMYK mix is 0% cyan, 1% magenta, 18% yellow and 0% black.
As a text color on white, Cream has a contrast ratio of 1.04:1, which fails WCAG AA even for large text. On black it reaches 20.21:1 and passes AA for normal text. If you use Cream as a background, put black (or very dark) text on it. The APCA lightness contrast is Lc 103 for black text and Lc 0 for white text.
Its perceptual complement is #F9F9FF, close to off-white. Colors that look most similar are beige, ivory, off-white. It looks fairly similar to people with red-green color blindness (ΔE 0), so its meaning mostly survives.
