Porcelain, #F4F1EA, is a smooth, quiet off-white, like unglazed fine china. Less yellow than eggshell, warmer than seamless.
Where I use porcelain
- Ceramics and homeware. Naturally.
- Premium packaging. A calm, expensive-feeling ground.
- Portrait-style product frames. Flatters without colouring.
- Brand pages. A refined alternative to white.
Where I do not
White ceramics can merge with it; drop to a mid-tone ground or use a dark card to draw the edge.
Edges on white-on-white
For white objects on pale grounds, I bring black cards in from each side just out of frame. They draw a thin dark line down each edge.
