faint yellow

Barely tinted gold

A pale, subdued shade of yellow with low saturation or intensity—closer to cream or ivory than to bright lemon or gold.

The color suggests delicacy or age: faint yellow stains on old paper, walls painted a faint yellow.

Often describes things that are weakly or barely yellow rather than vividly so.
