pale cream

Muted yellowish white

Pale cream describes a very light, muted yellow-white color—cream that has been softened or diluted toward white.

The phrase appears most often describing paint colors, interior design choices, or natural tones: The walls were painted a pale cream, pale cream roses.

As with most compound color terms, it functions as both noun and adjective.
