About the color Lotion

A near white with a lost entry

Lotion is an off-white with a faint warm tint. Wikipedia's alphabetical list of colors gives the same code as ours, #FEFDFA. Its link points to a Lotion entry in the article on shades of white, but that entry is gone. We found no paint chip or color book behind the code.

Twins you cannot tell apart

Lotion differs from baby powder, #FEFEFA, by a single step in the green channel. No eye can see a gap that small. Other soft whites to compare are ivory and snow, and more sit on the shades of white page.
