#2b2b2b - Shoe Wax color

This deep, near-black charcoal presents as a cool neutral with subtle blue undertones, feeling restrained, modern, and quietly authoritative. It reads as sophisticated and minimal, excellent for grounding layouts, creating high-contrast typography when paired with pale neutrals, or adding industrial elegance in interiors. Under bright light it reveals muted texture; in low light it becomes almost absolute black, so use for backgrounds or accents rather than fine detail. Pair with warm accents for balance, or crisp whites for stark, minimalist contrast.
