Eggshell, #F0EAD6, is a soft, matte off-white with a noticeable warm, slightly green-yellow body, like the shell it is named for.
Where I use eggshell
- Rustic and natural products. Honey, grains, linen, pottery.
- Vintage looks. A period feel without a filter.
- Warm flat-lays. Calm under overhead light.
- Packaging mock-ups. Kraft and uncoated stocks sit well on it.
Where I do not
Too coloured for anything that must look clinically clean, and far from marketplace white.
Watch the reflections
Glossy products pick up a warm reflection from an eggshell ground. Flag it with a white card if the highlight goes yellow.
