#78888e - Norwegian Blue color

This muted cool slate tone sits between blue-gray and charcoal with a subtle green undertone. It reads sophisticated and slightly weathered, evoking brushed steel, coastal storm clouds, or aged denim. In interiors and design it feels calm, modern, and restrained, pairing beautifully with warm woods, creamy neutrals, mustard accents, or soft blush. It works well as a grounding wall color, trim, or metal finish, lending an understated, elegant mood without dominating a palette.
