#FFFAF0
Black text reads best on this background, at 20.18:1.
FloralWhite is one of the 148 CSS named colors, and resolves to #FFFAF0 in every browser. In numbers that is rgb(255, 250, 240) and hsl(40, 100%, 97%). Perceptually it is a very light, near-neutral color: OKLCH puts its lightness at 99% and its chroma at 0.014. It carries almost no chroma, so it behaves as a neutral rather than as a hue, and belongs with the off-whites.
