Old lace (#FDF5E6) is a very pale warm shade that appears across 20+ master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Jan Sluyters, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Scheiber Hugó and the Art Nouveau tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Rich black (#010203), Blue (#0093AF), and Cinnabar (#E34234). The combination forms an almost-white, sunlit chord, built on a split-complementary spread, plays the source warmth against cooler companions for visible contrast, with a sharp light/dark contrast that lets the darker companions read as depth.
