Papaya whip #ffefd5, similar to what I use now

1

I used to use an oatmeal / wood browm but wanted something a bit lighter

I found a picture of a white fungus and matched the color of the page to a zoomed in portion of the fungus. I think it is quite interesting that it is not a pure white like a cloud or cotton in all areas, but has a fair amount of brown even in the lighter parts

#f4ecdf for the light background, I have been adjusting this a bit, settling on a slightly dimmer near-white beige

This particular fungus is brown on top so I created a dark them in dark reader to match, and use the two colors for both light and dark

#9d6e44 for words and dark background color

Searching papaya whip I found a webpage with over 100 varieties of orange

I had to refresh the post because it got marked as spam.

I think it is interesting you randomly picked papaya whip, I use a pale orange / slight blue orange on my phone as it matches my wallpaper so I wanted to know what it was as well. I like to use light beige because it offsets the blue spike from led backlights, even when I can balance out the colors in LineageOS, intel graphics manager on windows, or with xrandr / redshift gamma or brightness adjustments in addition to monitor rgb output, I still like off-white or a light sky blue a whole lot more than plain white.

Sorry, I’m the one who marked it as spam. We have had a ton lately, and I still don’t understand the post. Glad @MichaelTunnell was able to figure it out.
