Pure white backgrounds

Why it reads as slop

#ffffff is the absence of a decision. Paper is never pure white, and a slight cast is what makes a page feel like a surface instead of a viewport.

Heuristic

Page or main section background resolves to #fff / #ffffff / rgb(255,255,255) / white, or Tailwind bg-white on body-level containers.

Antidotes

• Off-white with a hue cast (warm, cool, green, grey) chosen to fit the brandpractice
• In dark mode, a coloured near-black rather than #000practice
