#515252 - Cavernous color

A muted, mid-dark slate gray with a cool, slightly greenish-blue undertone. It feels restrained and sophisticated—smoky and urban rather than stark—offering a calm, stabilizing presence. In interiors or interfaces it reads as quietly modern, pairing well with warm wood, brass, or soft creams for contrast. Under warm light it shifts toward a greige warmth; under cool light it becomes more steel-like. Ideal for backgrounds, typography, and accents when you want understated elegance and reliable neutrality.
