#53504e - German Grey color

A muted, mid-to-dark charcoal with subtle warm brown undertones. It reads as a soft, desaturated gray leaning toward taupe—an earthy, restrained neutral reminiscent of weathered stone, worn leather, or vintage metal. Calm and sophisticated, it creates a moody, grounded backdrop without feeling heavy. Works well with warm woods, brass, mustard, blush, or creamy off-whites; also pairs with cooler slate blues for contrast. Ideal for interiors, branding, or interfaces seeking an understated, timeless, slightly rustic elegance.
