#756f6d - Newsprint color

A dusky taupe with balanced gray and warm brown undertones, this muted, smoky neutral suggests aged leather, weathered wood, and soft shadows at dusk. Calm and sophisticated, it reads as both warm and cool depending on surrounding colors, pairing elegantly with creamy ivories, deep navy, olive greens, and blush accents. Ideal for interiors, typography, and understated branding, it brings quiet refinement, subtle warmth, and a timeless, grounded atmosphere without overwhelming brighter hues.
