A near-white glow called Light Goldenrod Yellow
On most monitors this color barely registers as yellow at all. #FAFAD2 sits so close to white that it reads as a faint sunlit tint, which is precisely its value: it warms a layout without ever announcing itself. Among the original X11/CSS named colors, it has one of the longest names and one of the quietest presences in the whole set.
Use it where pure white feels sterile, such as document backgrounds, note-taking apps, or slide decks that will be projected in bright rooms. Because the tint is so slight, it needs genuinely dark companions to define edges and hold text; mid-grays tend to look muddy against it rather than crisp, so reach further down the value scale.
A palette that works with Light Goldenrod Yellow
Goldenrod and dark olive green are deeper members of the same yellow family and give the pale tint context, while charcoal provides the strong contrast legible text demands.
