Dressed Eucharis
Dressed Eucharis (#EAF3ED) is a soft green with a pastel character. It reads calm and airy, with enough chroma to feel intentional rather than washed out. Its HSL profile (140°, 27%, 94%) places it in the muted band at a light lightness. It works as a background wash, large-area fill, or soft illustration tone. Add a darker ink of the same hue when you need type over it. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old French dresser, to arrange — past-participle of dress. As a color modifier, dressed implies a neutral-and-arranged-and-formal quality, the neutral color of Edwardian-period full-formal-and-evening-wear arranged-and-coordinated dress-attire-and-uniform craft-finish. Sits at the neutral-and-traditional end of the grid, parallel to suited and tailored in usage.
Eucharis amazonica (Amazon lily) — an Amaryllidaceae bulb-perennial native to the Amazon-rainforest understory, cultivated worldwide as a fragrant white-flowered indoor-bulb. Eucharis color refers to a freshly opened Eucharis amazonica bloom on a Brazilian-Amazon hand-thrown-clay indoor-pot: a pure white with the velvet finish of fresh six-tepalled fragrant trumpet-shaped corolla around a yellow-rim staminal-cup.
Closest matches
The nearest named color in three reference sources, ranked by perceptual distance (ΔE76 in CIELAB). ΔE < 1 is imperceptible to most viewers; ΔE > 10 is clearly different. When two sources point to the same hex they’re merged into one tile; click any to open that color’s page.

This color has effectively no chroma (OKLCH C = 0.012) — it’s on the grayscale axis. Hue rotations don’t change a grayscale color, so complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary all reduce to the same value. They aren’t shown because four identical tiles would be misleading.
Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color sits well within the sRGB cube. P3 and sRGB share the gray axis and most desaturated tones, so a P3 display renders this identically to an sRGB display.
