#404854 - Soft Steel color

Deep, muted slate with a cool blue-gray cast, this color sits between charcoal and indigo. It reads as restrained and sophisticated—calm, slightly brooding, and modern—making it ideal for elegant interfaces, minimalist interiors, or corporate branding. The tone evokes dusk or weathered steel, pairing beautifully with warm brass, soft creams, or brighter teal accents for contrast. It offers strong legibility as a background against white or pale text while maintaining a subtle, atmospheric presence.
