#281a14 - Tetsu-Guro Black color

A profoundly deep, near-black brown tinged with warm mahogany undertones.

The hue evokes aged leather, polished wood, and shadowed interiors, lending a moody, intimate sophistication. It grounds palettes with earthy depth, pairs well with creams and muted golds, and works for backgrounds, accents, or finishes where quiet elegance and cozy intensity are desired.
