Seen in: Superhuman (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/superhuman-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/slateblue
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6b2500 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6b2500 reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
